Technology of Cereals: An Introduction for Students of Food Science and Agriculture

In the tradition of this well established text, the fourth edition has been updated to cover recent developments in the field. This thoroughly revised edition encompasses new material including sections dealing with extrusion cooking and the use of cereals for animal feed. The section on industrial uses for cereals has been expanded considerably. The presentation of the text has been altered such that each chapter now deals with one subject, but considers all appropriate cereals. Both the merits and the limitations of individual cereals as sources of food products have been considered in a comparative way. This popular textbook remains a standard work for all those interested in the technology of cereals. It is of particular value to students of food science and agriculture.
