Sommario/riassunto |
|
"In his new book, Tom Engelhardt takes in something new under the sun: what is no longer, as in the 1960s, a national security state, but a global security one, fighting secret wars that have turned the president into an assassin-in-chief. Shadow Government offers a powerful survey of a democracy of the wealthy that your grandparents wouldn't have recognized"-- |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book gathers the latest information on various kinds of natural, plant-based sweet and super sweet sweeteners. A book on alternative, natural sweeteners with zero or very few calories is extremely timely and useful, especially in light of the decreasing amount of cultivable land, ever-increasing demand for sucrose, and the well-known risks of sugar consumption. Every year, more than five million people die due to diabetes and diabetes-associated diseases like cardiovascular conditions, kidney disorders, liver cancer, etc. This book describes the use of natural non-saccharide super sweet (NSSS) principles to avoid such maladies. Readers will gain an in-depth understanding of various sweeteners, the molecular basis of sweetness, sweeteners’ general classification, plant sources, etc. In turn, the book focuses on the propagation, cultivation and conservation of NSSS plants (NSSSP) and extraction of super sweet principles and granting of Generally Recognised As Safe(GRAS) certificates for sweeteners. The closing chapter describes the eco-physiological difference between sacchariferous sweet and non-sacchariferous super sweet plants and principles. This book will be of great interest to researchers, professors, graduate students and practitioners in the fields of food science, nutrition, ayurveda, plant physiology, unani, chemotaxonomy, naturopathy, biochemistry and plant breeding. It will also be of interest to industry and alternative sweetener manufacturers. |
