Synopsis

Our current food system faces challenges across the board – from ensuring food security and reducing environmental impact to managing costs and minimizing waste. Fortunately, cutting-edge food processing technologies play a critical role in paving the way for a more sustainable future. Taking a two-track approach, Future Crops and Processing Technologies for Sustainability and Nutritional Security presents sustainable technologies and emerging crops that are capable of ensuring nutritional security. There are various crops that are nutritious but under-utilized. Crops covered in the book are those that are climate resilient and exhibit less use of water and zero discharge to environment, such as millets and legumes like chickpea, groundnuts, and pigeon pea.

KEY FEATURES:

• Provides a comprehensive literature review on the opportunities and challenges in achieving sustainability and nutritional security
• Presents compatible, relevant crops to address both sustainability and nutritional security
• Discusses the emerging technologies/crops/food products to justify sustainability and potential to ensure nutritional security

This book also provides information on all aspects related to the processing and use of sustainable technologies and crops. The use of technologies like 3D printing, novel drying method, high pressure processing, high-voltage treatments, and the proper combination of conventional methods are addressed.

She has published widely in the areas of functional foods, non-dairy probiotics, sustainable food technologies, process optimization and nanobiosensors for food safety.

Meena Kumari is working as an Assistant Professor at Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. Her research area is focused on bioavailability of nutrients from foods. She has done her Ph.D. from CSIR-Central food technological research institute, Mysuru, Karnataka. She had published papers in peer reviewed international SCI journals. She had also presented papers at various national and international conferences.

Kasi Muthukumarappan has established himself as a global leader in research and mentoring within the food processing sector. He has obtained 65 grants, totaling over $20 million, as a Principal Investigator and co-PI. His scholarly output includes over 250 peer-reviewed publications and more than 350 regional, national, and international presentations. His international recognition stems from his pioneering work in nonthermal processing, rheological properties, and the thermo-chemical conversion of biomass. Dr. Muthukumarappan’s research encompasses fruit juices' rheological properties, coproducts' value addition, and efficient biomass conversion.

Joanna Kane-Potaka is a marketing expert with global leadership in public, private sectors and with non profit organizations including four CGIAR centers - WorldFish, Bioversity, International Water Management Institute (IWMI), and most recently at International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) as the Assistant Director General of External Relations. She began her career as an agricultural economist and later moved into market research in agribusiness and spent most of her career in international development.
