Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

For more than 30 years soil testing has been widely used as a basis for determining lime and fertilizer needs. Today a number of procedures are used for determining everything from soil pH and lime requirement to the level of extractable nutrient elements. And as the number of cropped fields being tested increases more and more farmers and growers will come to rely on soil test results. But if soil testing is to be an effective means of evaluating the fertility status of soils standardization of methodology is essential. No single test is appropriate for all soils. Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods is a standard laboratory technique manual for the most commonly used soil analysis procedures. First published in 1974 this Handbook has changed over the years to reflect evolving needs. New test methods and modifications have been added as well as new sections on nitrate heavy metals and quality assurance plans for agricultural testing laboratories. Compiled by the Soil and Plant Analysis Council this latest edition of Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods also addresses the major methods for managing plant nutrition currently in use in the United States and other parts of the world. For soil scientists farmers growers or anyone with an interest in the environment this reference will prove an invaluable guide to standard methods for soil testing well into the future. Features

Handbook of Food Preservation

Handbook of Food Preservation

The processing of food is no longer simple or straightforward but is now a highly inter-disciplinary science. A number of new techniques have developed to extend shelf-life minimize risk protect the environment and improve functional sensory and nutritional properties. Since 1999 when the first edition of this book was published it has facilitated readers’ understanding of the methods technology and science involved in the manipulation of conventional and newer sophisticated food preservation methods. The Third Edition of the Handbook of Food Preservation provides a basic background in postharvest technology for foods of plant and animal origin presenting preservation technology of minimally processed foods and hurdle technology or combined methods of preservation. Each chapter compiles the mode of food preservation basic terminologies and sequential steps of treatments including types of equipment required. In addition chapters present how preservation method affects the products reaction kinetics and selected prediction models related to food stability what conditions need be applied for best quality and safety and applications of these preservation methods in different food products. This book emphasizes practical cost-effective and safe strategies for implementing preservation techniques for wide varieties of food products. Features: Includes extensive overview on the postharvest handling and treatments for foods of plants and animal origin Describes comprehensive preservation methods using chemicals and microbes such as fermentation antimicrobials antioxidants pH-lowering and nitrite Explains comprehensive preservation by controlling of water structure and atmosphere such as water activity glass transition state diagram drying smoking edible coating encapsulation and controlled release Describes preservation methods using conventional heat and other forms of energy such as microwave ultrasound ohmic heating light irradiation pulsed electric field high pressure and magnetic field Revised updated and expanded with 18 new chapters the Handbook of Food Preservation Third Edition remains the definitive resource on food preservation and is useful for practicing industrial and academic food scientists technologists and engineers.
