Food Materials Science : Principles and Practice
Food manufacture is about producing billions of units of standardized products which must be cheap, nutritious, safe and appealing to the consumer’s taste. Food products are complex multicomponent and structured edible materials that nevertheless must comply with the laws of physics and fundamentals of engineering sciences. In the last 20 years the design of food products with specific functionalities has advanced significantly by the application of scientific knowledge from disciplines such as polymer physics, colloidal and mesoscopic physics, materials science and new imaging and probing techniques borrowed from chemistry, biology and medicine. Our knowledge of the relationship between microstructure, processing, and macroscopic properties continues to increase as the science of food materials advances at a fast pace.
Familial mediterranean fever
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), a genetic disorder causing recurrent inflammatory attacks. It delves into various aspects of FMF, including: Definition and historical background of FMF Underlying causes, signs, and symptoms of the disease Modes of transmission through autosomal recessive inheritance Diagnostic methods encompassing genetic, urine, blood, and imaging tests, emphasizing the significance of early diagnosis The link between FMF and amyloidosis, a serious complication...
Celiac disease
Celiac Disease is a chronic small intestinal immune-mediated enteropathy caused by the ingestion of dietary gluten proteins in genetically susceptible individuals. CD is one of the most common autoimmune diseases, affecting around 1.4% of the population globally . Celiac disease remains a challenging condition because of a steady increase in knowledge tackling its pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and possible therapeutic options. Finding alternative diet and trying different lifestyle still under debates. However, complete exclusion of the gluten-containing food from the patient's diet is the only effective treatment to avoid the disease complications
