Drying and Roasting of Cocoa and Coffee

Drying and Roasting of Cocoa and Coffee

This is the first practical book dedicated to the fundamental and application aspects of two major unit operations in cocoa and coffee processing namely drying and roasting. The drying and roasting of cocoa and coffee beans play critical roles in governing the formation of flavor precursors in the early stages and also the development of flavor and aroma in the later stages during processing. Hence qualities of the finished chocolates and coffee powder products are affected greatly by the dried and roasted beans produced. Drying and Roasting of Cocoa and Coffee covers key topics areas ranging from post-harvest processing equipment selection physical and chemical changes during processing flavor development grading and dried product quality. The book consists of two parts with topics dedicated to the drying/roasting aspects of cocoa and coffee respectively. Features Provides a comprehensive review on flavor development during cocoa/coffee processing Discusses the impact of processing parameters on cocoa/coffee quality Presents the new trends in drying/roasting techniques and novel technology Examines the concept of coffee quality in light of both paradigms: the traditional coffee and the specialty coffee grading systems No prior knowledge of cocoa and coffee processing is required to benefit from this book which is written for a variety of readers.

Vascular Organization of Angiosperms A New Vision

Vascular Organization of Angiosperms A New Vision

This study of plant anatomy is based on newly available data on the structure and spatial organization of the vascular system of plants. For the first time by means of a new technique of intracellular moulding the vascular system can be observed in its length. Many examples are chosen from among the major groups of the plant kingdom to illustrate the vast field of applications of histological moulding: anatomical structures that have so far been little understood or unknown are described and hypotheses relative to the cambial functioning are presented. Following a summary of basic concepts of xylem anatomy the text is illustrated with many diagrams and photographs of moulds made for the most part with scanning electron microscope. The successive steps of the technical implementation of moulding are described with precision. The book is addressed not only to scientists and students but also to professionals concerned with wood trees and plants in general. | Vascular Organization of Angiosperms A New Vision

Plasma Astrophysics

Plasma Astrophysics

The twentieth century has witnessed the transformation of astronomy from celestial mechanics to astrophysics. While optical telescopes may have presented a peek into the structure of the constituents of the universe such as stars and galaxies new windows of observation have revealed far more amorphous objects from nebulae and sheets to filaments and voids whose violent processes include flares shocks accretion disks and jets. In these processes plasma is often the constituent matter- as well as the medium through which the astrophysical setting becomes so violent. In this graduate level text Tajima and Shibata offer a new synthesis starting where classic works on plasma physics left off. Beginning with a view of plasma astrophysics through fundamental processes of quasi-magnetostatic equilibria quasi-hydrostatic equilibria and non-equilibria the authors go on to develop unique approaches to violent astrophysical plasmas- as opposed to the more quiescent laboratory variety- and their processes. The text continues with an exploration of the fundamental processes in hydrostatic magnetostatic and gravitational objects. The final chapter is devoted to a discussion of the applications of plasma astrophysics to cosmology anticipating future developments in this exciting field. This text will be of enormous use to graduate- and some advanced undergraduate- students as well as to physicists entering the field of plasma physics.
