Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

The aim of this book is to show the potential of natural hydrocolloids and active agents to develop sustainable edible packaging materials for food preservation. For this the current and future sources of natural hydrocolloids have been reviewed along with their extraction methods impact on health and ability to form different packaging such as film casing coating mat pad etc. Similarly natural active compounds were evaluated carefully considering their sources extraction methods regulatory status and compatibility with edible packaging. The book emphasizes the recent developments in methods strategies and technologies employed to enhance the performance of antimicrobial antioxidant and bioactive packaging. The basic testing methods used to evaluate antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of edible packaging in model media and food were discussed and carefully selected example active edible packaging applications for different food categories were provided with critical details such as the thin balance between effectiveness of packaging and sensory properties of food. As such it helps in understanding necessary parameters in designing an effective active edible packaging that is applicable to the target food category. Moreover readers are primed for the first time on how to develop a fully natural antimicrobial antioxidant or bioactive edible food packaging. This book is different from most of the similar books' avail as it provides neither methodologies about classical active packaging based on chemicals and fossil polymeric films nor is it a thorough collection of different food packaging applications. It is also not a book that concentrates on physicochemical characterization methods and engineering aspects of packaging. Instead this is a book that provides systematic knowledge about key methods of evaluating natural resources agro-industrial wastes and by-products for development of edible packaging and concentrates on concepts strategies technologies and applications of active edible packaging based solely on natural components. It is designed to share both positive and negative experiences in an emerging field that is expected to play a central role in improving food safety and quality human health and environmentally friendly practices. | Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

Bosnian Authors in a European Window A Comparative Study

Bosnian Authors in a European Window A Comparative Study

The study compares three Bosnian authors with three European titans: The poet Mak Dizdar to Homer the novelist Meša Selimović to Fyodor Dostoevsky and the novelist Ivo Andrić to Leo Tolstoy. The purpose is to move the appreciation of the writing of the most important Bosnian writers of the 20th century closer to the European literary community and to the wholeness of the literary phenomenon. Secondary literature on the Bosnian authors is too narrow focusing on their ethnic heritages and the Balkan milieu in which they write and missing something essential to a critical appreciation of their works. The study creates not only affinities but more importantly amitiés between the authors. The discipline of comparative literature reveals what is missing in the secondary literature namely a vision of the literary universe inclusive and comprehensive. | Bosnian Authors in a European Window A Comparative Study

The Neurasthenia-Depression Controversy A Window on Chinese Culture and Psychiatric Nosology

The Neurasthenia-Depression Controversy A Window on Chinese Culture and Psychiatric Nosology

This book is about the largest debate that has occurred in the field of cultural psychiatry and its impact on diagnosing theorizing and clinical practice. It is also about the role of culture in psychopathology specifically in relation to China. This book is the first comprehensive and critical assessment of the anthropological psychiatry that has provided Western physicians with their ideas about somatization and culture. It is argued that psychiatric nosology and the broader cultural milieu interact in a fascinating way and co-facilitate individual conformity to culturally salient categories consciously or unconsciously through a process of belief expectation and learning. The result is that codified experiences can be translated from the mind to the body and back again. Through a critical evaluation of the Neurasthenia-Depression controversy we can gain a view of the contested and shifting nature of psychiatric nosology and thereby attempt to introduce the beginnings of a model that elucidates how psychiatric distress varies across cultures. This timely book challenges conventional wisdom about neurasthenia and depression in Chinese societies. Its findings will be of value to anyone who works with Chinese people with these mental illnesses across the global diaspora. | The Neurasthenia-Depression Controversy A Window on Chinese Culture and Psychiatric Nosology

Drag Interperformance and the Trouble with Queerness

Drag Interperformance and the Trouble with Queerness

This story of drag kings and queens at Cleveland Ohio’s most popular gay bar reveals that these genres have little in common and introduces interperformance a framework for identity formation and coalition building that provides strategies for repairing longstanding rifts in the LGBT community. Drag Interperformance and the Trouble with Queerness is the first book centered on queer life in this growing midwestern hub and the first to focus simultaneously on kinging and queening. It shows that despite the shared heading of drag these iconically queer institutions diverge in terms of audience movement vocabulary stage persona and treatment of gender class race and sexuality. Horowitz argues that the radical (in)difference between kings and queens provides a window into the perennial rift between lesbians and gay men and challenges the assumption that all identities subsumed under the queer umbrella ought to have anything in common culturally politically or otherwise. Drawing on performer interviews about the purpose of drag contestations over space and the eventual shuttering of the bar they called home Horowitz offers a new way of thinking about identity as a product of relations and argues that relationality is our best hope for building queer communities across lines of difference. The book will be key reading for students and faculty in the interdisciplinary fields of feminist gender and sexuality studies; performance studies; American studies; cultural studies; ethnography; and rhetoric. It will be useful to graduate students and faculty interested in queer culture gender performance and transgender studies. At the same time the clear and relatable writing style will make it accessible to undergraduates and well suited to upper-level courses in queer theory LGBTQ identities performance studies and qualitative research methods.
