For centuries man has treated food to prolong its edible life, and nowadays both traditional and modern preservatives are used widely to ensure the satisfactory maintenance of quality and safety of foods. There continues to be increased public concern about the use of food additives, including preservatives, resulting from a perception that some of them may have deleterious effects on health. However, as eating habits have changed with an emphasis on what has been popularly termed a `healthy diet', there is at the same time a concern that reduction in preservative usage could lead to loss of safety and protection from food poisoning. While some preservatives are coming under increasing regulatory pressure others, particularly more natural ones, are receiving increased attention and gaining in importance and acceptability.

This book supports the continued safe and effective use of preservatives within these current constraints. It therefore gives detailed information on the practical use of the major antimicrobial preservatives. Uniquely, it couples this with current understanding of their modes of action, at the levels of cellular physiology and biochemistry, in such a way as to provide a sound scientific basis for their efficacy. Such an approach also encourages the future logical development and use of preservatives.

Wood products are used extensively in residential construction and other outdoor applications where the wood can be degraded by many different organisms. To prevent degradation, wood products are treated with biocides. Treated wood is a sustainable, low-cost and effective building material which requires relatively little energy to manufacture, and trees sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. Therefore, treated wood is an economical construction material and provides ecological benefits to society. However, wood preservation has recently undergone dramatic changes worldwide that have been driven by both real and perceived environmental concerns and governmental regulations.
The protection of wood against the many organisms that can degrade it has unique problems. The vector(s) employed must be effective against a wide variety of organisms and must last for the many years expected from treated wood. The worldwide market for wood-preserving biocides at the active supplier level is relatively small so only limited R&D expenditures are justified. Another challenge with wood is that it is a hygroscopic material that swells when wetted and shrinks as it dries, which leads to undesired dimensional changes that result in lumber in exterior applications splitting or warping over time. Furthermore, the surface of wood exposed to sunlight can photodegrade, and exterior lumber can have surface mold growth if left without maintenance. Therefore, certain species of wood decking gradually lose their initial attractive appearance and require maintenance over time.
This book gives the many steps involved in developing a new wood preservative, written by international experts, that cover various biocides, efficacy testing, formulation development, biocide depletion, termite control methods, registration and approval processes, existing and potential preservative systems for various applications, and environmental and disposal concerns. In addition, overview chapters cover various aspects of wood deterioration, non-biocidal chemicals and processes to protect wood, worldwide trends in wood preservation, and mold and mold health issues in homes.

Introduces the principles that augment the formulation of products free from traditional preservatives by creating a hostile environment for microorganisms without diminishing quality. The text emphasizes that the preservation of a product should be inherent in the formula and examines the use of multifunctional chemicals whose secondary characteristics include germistatic and germicidal qualities..

Jean Anderson and Barbara Deskins have put together a food reference that is much more than just another calorie counter From vitamin A, corn dogs, and durum wheat to flounder, nondairy creamers, and zwieback, the Bible covers more than 1,500 major foods and beverages, providing lucid descriptions of what the substances are, how they're used, and what they've got to do with your health. In addition, nutrient charts supply clear data on calories, proteins, and fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, and a host of vitamins and minerals.

But while this information is all presented lucidly and accessibly, it's also available in many other nutrition tomes. What makes this reference special is the fact that Anderson and Deskins include so many other health-related items. Acetone peroxide (a flour additive) and acne, Islamic dietary laws and hair analysis, morning sickness and parasitic worms, rashes and "smart drinks," sweating and urinary-tract infections--these health issues are all discussed, with up-to-date details on what the scientific community knows about causes and cures. There's an entry on stainless-steel cooking utensils, a recipe for butternut squash and snow-pea salad with sesame dressing and another for Portuguese pumpkin soup (with nutrition charts, of course), an essay on fasting, a paragraph on the inferiority of plastic cutting boards (as compared to wood), and a warning on the bacterial dangers of refreezing. Truly a bible for the '90s, the decade where health is the new religion and nutrition, diet, and fitness its holy trinity, The Nutrition Bible is a remarkably comprehensive, timely, and engaging resource. --Stephanie Gold.
