توجه داشته باشید کتاب دانه های روغنی: صفات بهداشتی و کاربردهای غذایی نسخه زبان اصلی می باشد و کتاب ترجمه شده به فارسی نمی باشد. وبسایت اینترنشنال لایبرری ارائه دهنده کتاب های زبان اصلی می باشد و هیچ گونه کتاب ترجمه شده یا نوشته شده به فارسی را ارائه نمی دهد.
دانههای روغنی به دلیل محتوای بالای روغن و پروتئین، فرصتهای فراوانی را برای صنایع غذایی و خوراک فراهم میکنند. مواد مغذی گیاهی و اجزای عملکردی آنها توجه محققان را به خود جلب کرده و منجر به توسعه غذاهای کاربردی شده است. این کتاب آخرین اطلاعات علمی در مورد مواد مغذی، فیتونوترینت ها و فواید سلامتی و همچنین اثرات نامطلوب مصرف دانه های روغنی مختلف معمولی و غیر متعارف را جمع آوری می کند. علاوه بر این، هر فصل شامل بخشی است که به طور جامع استفاده از دانه های روغنی در نانوایی، لبنیات و سایر محصولات غذایی کاربردی را توضیح می دهد. با توجه به دامنه آن، این کتاب منبع ارزشمندی برای دانشجویان، محققان، متخصصان تغذیه، دانشمندان علوم غذایی و فنآوران، و برای هر کسی که در توسعه محصول بر اساس دانههای روغنی و اجزای آن نقش دارد، است.
Oilseeds offer a plethora of opportunities for the food and feed industry, thanks to their high oil and protein content . Their phytonutrients and functional components have attracted the interest of researchers, leading to the development of functional foods. This book gathers the latest scientific information on the nutrients, phytonutrients and health benefits as well as the adverse effects of consuming various conventional and non-conventional oilseeds. In addition, each chapter includes a section comprehensively explaining the use of oilseeds in functional bakery, dairy, and other food products. Given its scope, the book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, nutritionists, food scientists and technologists, and for anyone involved in product development based on oilseed and its components.
