Abstract:

The specific focus for food bioactives is on the chemistry of beneficial and nutritional bioactives (phytochemicals such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, carotenoids, avenanthramides etc), toxicant bioactives (mycotoxins; citrinin, cyclopiazonic acid etc.) and allergen compounds from various foods sources such as pome, stone, and berry fruits, nuts, special fruits, spices and animal originated foods including cheeses, meats and liquid eggs. During the past decade, novel cold processing technologies including high hydrostatic pressure (HHP), pulsed electric field (PEF) have frequently been applied in the processing of foods and beverages.
