This book provides important advice to scientists at all stages of their careers on how to be a more effective and impactful researcher. It provides tips on: designing, performing, and analyzing experiments; writing, submitting and revising manuscripts; preparing and giving scientific talks and posters; writing grant proposals; and writing and defending a graduate thesis. It also provides advice on soft skills, like communication, networking, creativity, critical thinking, and working in teams. A major emphasis of the book is the importance of writing and publishing scientific manuscripts, as this is the main way that scientific knowledge is disseminated, as well as being an important element for building a strong curriculum vitae. The book should be an extremely valuable resource for graduate students throughout their studies but should also be useful for postdocs and professors who want to hone their research skills. The book is written by three scientists from the same family who are each at different stages in their careers and can therefore provide different perspectives. David Julian McClements is a distinguished professor who is currently the most highly cited author in Food Science in the world. He has published over 1300 scientific articles and numerous books. Jake McClements is beginning his career as a lecturer in the United Kingdom, while Isobelle Farrell McClements is just starting her career as a graduate student in the United States.

Die Entwicklung pflanzlicher Lebensmittelalternativen ist eines der am schnellsten fortschreitenden Gebiete in unserem modernen Ernährungssystem. Viele Verbraucher*innen reduzieren den Konsum von tierischen Lebensmitteln und greifen vermehrt zu pflanzlichen Alternativen. Die Lebensmittelindustrie greift dieses Konsummuster auf und bietet zunehmend innovative pflanzliche Alternativprodukte an. Die Entwicklung und Herstellung dieser alternativen Lebensmittel geht jedoch mit großen Herausforderungen einher, da viele tierische Lebensmittel aus sehr komplexen Strukturen mit hochfunktionellen Inhaltsstoffen bestehen. Eine wissenschaftliche Herangehensweise ist daher eine wesentliche Voraussetzung, um pflanzliche Lebensmittelalternativen mit einer hohen Verbraucherakzeptanz und hohem Nährwert zu entwickeln.Dieses Fachbuch beschreibt die Wissenschaft und Technologie von pflanzlichen Lebensmittelalternativen. Leser*innen erhalten einen Überblick über die verwendeten Zutaten und Verarbeitungsprozesse sowie über die wichtigsten Ernährungs- und Qualitätsmerkmale spezifischer pflanzlicher Lebensmittelkategorien wie Alternativen zu Milch und Milchprodukten, Eiern und Eiprodukten sowie Fleisch und Meeresfrüchten. Fachkräfte mit Bezug zur Lebensmitteltechnologie können dieses grundlegende Wissen nutzen, um die nächste Generation gesünderer und nachhaltigerer pflanzlicher Lebensmittelalternativen herzustellen.

Nanotechnology is increasingly being utilized within the food industry to create innovative products with new or improved properties. This book introduces the history of nanotechnology applications in the food industry. It then discusses the key physicochemical and structural characteristics of the different kinds of nanoparticles found in foods, as well as showing how these characteristics lead to their unique functional attributes. Applications of nanotechnology in the food and agricultural industries are then covered, including the creation of nanopesticides, nanofertilizers, nutrient delivery systems, functional ingredients, smart packaging materials, nanofilters, and sensors, as well as for the conversion of waste materials into value-added products. Finally, the potential toxicity of both organic and inorganic nanoparticles found in foods is critically assessed. The author is a Distinguished Professor of food science who uses physics, chemistry, and biology to improve the quality, safety, and healthiness of foods. He has published over a thousand scientific articles and numerous books in this area and is currently the most highly cited food scientist in the world. He has won numerous awards for his scientific achievements. The aim of this book is to provide scientists and technologists with an understanding of the basic principles of nanotechnology and how they can be used in the food and agricultural industry to improve the quality, sustainability, safety, and healthiness of our foods.

The aim of this book is to highlight the many exciting advances being made in the science of foods, and to show their application for solving important problems related to the modern food supply, such as tackling chronic diseases, feeding a global population, reducing food waste, and creating healthier and tastier foods.
