Foreword
In the last 50 years an increasing number of modified and alternative foods have been
developed using various tools of science, engineering, and biotechnology. The result is that
today most of the available commercial food is somehow modified and improved, and made
to look better, taste different, and be commercially attractive. These food products have
entered in the domestic first and then the international markets, currently representing a
great industry in most countries. Sometimes these products are considered as life-supporting
alternatives, neither good nor bad, and sometimes they are just seen as luxury foods. In the
context of a permanently growing population, changing climate, and strong anthropological
influence, food resources became limited in large parts of the Earth. Obtaining a better
and more resistant crop quickly and with improved nutritional value would represent the
Holy Grail for the food industry. However, such a crop could pose negative effects on
the environment and consumer health, as most of the current approaches involve the use
of powerful and broad-spectrum pesticides, genetic engineered plants and animals, or
bioelements with unknown and difficult-to-predict effects. Numerous questions have emerged
with the introduction of engineered foods, many of them pertaining to their safe use for
human consumption and ecosystems, long-term expectations, benefits, challenges associated
with their use, and most important, their economic impact.
The progress made in the food industry by the development of applicative engineering and
biotechnologies is impressive and many of the advances are oriented to solve the world
food crisis in a constantly increasing population: from genetic engineering to improved
preservatives and advanced materials for innovative food quality control and packaging. In
the present era, innovative technologies and state-of-the-art research progress has allowed
the development of a new and rapidly changing food industry, able to bottom-up all known
and accepted facts in the traditional food management. The huge amount of available
information, many times is difficult to validate, and the variety of approaches, which could
seem overwhelming and lead to misunderstandings, is yet a valuable resource of manipulation
for the population as a whole.
The series entitled Handbook of Food Bioengineering brings together a comprehensive
collection of volumes to reveal the most current progress and perspectives in the field of
food engineering. The editors have selected the most interesting and intriguing topics, and
have dissected them in 20 thematic volumes, allowing readers to find the description of

Foreword
basic processes and also the up-to-date innovations in the field. Although the series is mainly
dedicated to the engineering, research, and biotechnological sectors, a wide audience could
benefit from this impressive and updated information on the food industry. This is because
of the overall style of the book, outstanding authors of the chapters, numerous illustrations,
images, and well-structured chapters, which are easy to understand. Nonetheless, the most
novel approaches and technologies could be of a great relevance for researchers and engineers
working in the field of bioengineering.
Current approaches, regulations, safety issues, and the perspective of innovative applications
are highlighted and thoroughly dissected in this series. This work comes as a useful tool
to understand where we are and where we are heading to in the food industry, while being
amazed by the great variety of approaches and innovations, which constantly changes the idea
of the “food of the future.”

Series Preface
The food sector represents one of the most important industries in terms of extent,
investment, and diversity. In a permanently changing society, dietary needs and
preferences are widely variable. Along with offering a great technological support for
innovative and appreciated products, the current food industry should also cover the
basic needs of an ever-increasing population. In this context, engineering, research, and
technology have been combined to offer sustainable solutions in the food industry for a
healthy and satisfied population.
Massive progress is constantly being made in this dynamic field, but most of the recent
information remains poorly revealed to the large population. This series emerged out
of our need, and that of many others, to bring together the most relevant and innovative
available approaches in the intriguing field of food bioengineering. In this work we
present relevant aspects in a pertinent and easy-to-understand sequence, beginning with
the basic aspects of food production and concluding with the most novel technologies
and approaches for processing, preservation, and packaging. Hot topics, such as
genetically modified foods, food additives, and foodborne diseases, are thoroughly
dissected in dedicated volumes, which reveal the newest trends, current products, and
applicable regulations.
While health and well-being are key drivers of the food industry, market forces strive
for innovation throughout the complete food chain, including raw material/ingredient
sourcing, food processing, quality control of finished products, and packaging. Scientists
and industry stakeholders have already identified potential uses of new and highly
investigated concepts, such as nanotechnology, in virtually every segment of the food
industry, from agriculture (i.e., pesticide production and processing, fertilizer or vaccine
delivery, animal and plant pathogen detection, and targeted genetic engineering) to
food production and processing (i.e., encapsulation of flavor or odor enhancers, food
textural or quality improvement, and new gelation- or viscosity-enhancing agents),
food packaging (i.e., pathogen, physicochemical, and mechanical agents sensors;
anticounterfeiting devices; UV protection; and the design of stronger, more impermeable
polymer films), and nutrient supplements (i.e., nutraceuticals, higher stability and
bioavailability of food bioactives, etc.).

Preface for Volume 13: Food Quality:
Balancing Health and Disease
Food intake represents one of the major factors to control our well-being and health.
Depending on the quality and quantity of ingested foods, the health condition can be changed.
This aspect may impact on the development of various diseases or to control the progression
and prognostic of other health conditions. In our era, a great attention is given to the dietary
input in all age groups (children, adults, and elders), as their nutritional requests have been
proved to be slightly different. In recent years, industrial companies have made impressive
progress in developing faster production methods; better processing technologies; and more
sensitive detection techniques for food quality. This progress could be quantified by the
currently imposed standards in food production and processing. This led to the development
of personalized formulations to fulfill nutritional requirements of a particular group of
individuals, in terms of age or clinical condition. These food formulations have brought
important advantages in life quality of many individuals and have the potential to balance
health and disease. Despite the huge technological progress and the obtained benefits for
particular categories of individuals, the current trend in food industry seems to reduce
the naturalness in processed foods and to reduce the availability of traditional products.
Nowadays, traditional and small producers fight to maintain authentic foods on a highly
industrialized market.
In this context, the purpose of this book was to reveal new achievements in food industry to
control and increase food quality, while promoting a positive impact on human health. Also,
health-related risks, which may be associated with the consumption of various natural or
processed foods, are discussed here.
The volume contains 15 chapters prepared by outstanding authors from Turkey, Italy,
Poland, India, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Japan, Slovakia, Thailand, Greece,
Brazil, and Spain.
In Chapter 1, Improvement of the Functional and Healthy Properties of Meat Products,
Beriain et al. provide an updated and critical review regarding the impact of meat quality
(beef, pig, foal, and lamb) on consumers health.

Preface for Volume 13: Food Quality: Balancing Health and Disease
Chapter 2, Biogenic Amines as Food Quality Index and Chemical Risk for Human
Consumption, prepared by Costa et al., discusses about the biological properties of biogenic
amines (BAs), which could be found in foods. The BAs analyses are very important as they
are considered indicators of food quality and safety, being applied as quality index for meat,
fish, and dairy products.
Chapter 3, Marine-Based Toxins and Their Health Risk, prepared by Özogul and Hamed,
describes main marine toxins and their health effects upon ingestion. Also, the molecular and
biochemical roles and modulated pathways within host cells and organs are dissected.
Chapter 4, Olive Oil Antioxidants and Aging, prepared by Sabatini et al., gives an overview
of most recent studies together with molecular mechanisms concerning the antiaging,
antioxidant, and nutraceutical properties of virgin olive oil and each of its major and minor
compounds.
Chapter 5, entitled Heavy Metal Levels in Fish, Molluscs, and Crustacea From Turkish Seas
and Potential Risk of Human Health, prepared by Bat and Arici, discusses about current
regulations and procedures to control pollutants levels and heavy metals in edible sea
organisms in countries with a great fish and seafood industry, such as Turkey. Authors are also
highlighting major pollution sources and health effects of such pollutants.
Chapter 6, Trace and Major Elements Content of Cereals and Proteinaceous Feeds
in Greece Analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry, prepared by
Giannenas et al., dissects the impact of multivariate analysis of trace or major elements
to be applied as a useful tool for feed differentiation, focusing on the characterization of
feed, or food products certified as protected designation of origin or protected geographical
indication.
Chapter 7, The Bioavailability of Nutrients That Have a Health-Promoting Effect on Nervous
System Function, prepared by Jaworski and Fabisiak, highlights the impact of the current
lifestyle, stress, and improper diet that may affect the quality of life on one hand, and
psychological functioning on other hand. The chapter summarizes current research findings
on relationship between nutrition and neurological functioning in the context of changing
their bioavailability during technological processes.
In Chapter 8, Agroindustrial By-Products and Animal Products: A Great Alternative for
Improving Food-Quality Characteristics and Preserving Human Health, Simitzis and
Deligeorgis empathize on uncovering the causes associated with the etiology of several
diseases affecting human health, while utilizing enriched foods. Enrichment of foods with
bioactive compounds, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), conjugated linoleic acid
(CLA), or antioxidant agents (vitamins, polyphenols, flavonoids, etc.) appear to improve
quality characteristics and protect consumer health against oxidation effects, while other
by-products may trigger hazardous effects.

1 Introduction
Meat is referred to as edible parts of the terrestrial animals, including muscle and byproducts
as viscera and blood. Marine mammals also are included as meat in some cultures inhabitants
next to the seas. In any case, it is required that food products be considered suitable and
safe for human consumption (FAO, 2005). Meat products are products resulting from the
processing of muscle and fat as main ingredients. Along with the main ingredients, a wide
range of nonmeat substances is used to obtain processed meat products. Some of them are
necessary (salt and seasonings) and others are specific for products. The type of technological
treatment (grounding, drying, heating, curing, or fermenting) provided a variety of
semiprocessed or processed meat products.
In anthropological terms, the human diet has varied among time periods. It can be assumed
that the pattern of meat consumption during humankind history evolved in four periods:
the first period could be characterized as a scavenger and opportunist hunter; the second
one, as a systematic hunter; the third one, humans started to domesticate animals for local
consumption; during the fourth and last period men exploited intensively livestock farming.
Overall, this dietary change resulted in a reduced consumption of meat and increased
domesticated grains. Concomitantly, a lifestyle based in progressive sedentary lifestyle and
overfeeding is accompanied by an increase in “civilization diseases” (Larsen, 2003).
The register of animal species for human consumption is relatively large, both wild and
domesticated species. Beef, buffalo, horses, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, ostriches, and
game animals are eaten as meat. The majority of meat production worldwide in 2013 was
porcine (112.7 · 106 tonnes), chicken (95.5 · 106 tonnes), bovine (63.7 · 106 tonnes), ovine
(8.6 · 106 tonnes), turkey (5.5 · 106 tonnes), caprine (5.4 · 106 tonnes), and equine (0.8 · 106

Data are expressed as tonnes of meat (FAO, 2015).
Africa, Central America, and Oceania have the lowest production (Table 1.1). In this chapter
domestic animals are only considered as meat source.
After a subsistence economy stage, the dietary transition is characterized by quantitative growth
in consumption of plant foods. Then a nutritional transition came and it was characterized by
a radical change in dietary pattern. The greater the incomes, the higher intake of animal based
foods. Indeed, over the last 50 years, meat consumption rose worldwide from 23.1 kg per
person per year in 1961 to 42.20 kg per person per year in 2011 (Sans and Combris, 2015).
That is, the increase in revenues is accompanied by an increase in meat protein consumption.
Meanwhile, Mathijs (2015) evaluated the relationship between meat intake and incomes
worldwide, showing no clear relation between both. However, it was revealed the existence of
a set of high-income countries in which meat consumption is relatively low. More detail reveals
that in some cases the relationship between income and meat consumption is not as expected
by nutrition transition theory. For example, high-meat consumption (>10% of energy intake)
is observed in low-income countries (Uganda, Guinea, or Tanzania). Conversely, some high-
income countries (Germany, Japan, or Belgium) have low-meat intake. So, the consumption of
meat is a two-sided story: in developing countries, consuming meat means positive effects for
health, while in developed countries consuming too much meat has negative health impacts.
Meat consumption also has been influenced by the crises linked to food safety. The crisis
series started with the so-called mad-cow crisis (bovine spongiform encephalopathy disease,
BSE) in 1986 in the United Kingdom. The incident spread in later years to Belgium (1993),
Netherlands (1997), Denmark (2000), France (2000), Germany (2000), Portugal, Switzerland,
Spain (2000), Italy (2001), and Canada (2003). BSE was related to Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,
so consumers developed a fear of beef and meat consumption dropped drastically. In 1999 a
stock of animal feed was contaminated accidentally with dioxin in Belgium. The result was
the contamination of poultry and pig farms. It was known as the Belgian dioxin crisis. The
Improvement of the Functional and Healthy Properties of Meat Products 3
chicken and pork consumption decreased more than 50%. Other crises that have affected meat
consumption are the avian influenza originated in 1997 in Asia and the Irish pork crisis of
2008 by dioxin contamination. As a result consumers became concerned about certain food
substances and they started to fear of certain foods (Bánáti, 2011). For all the aforementioned,
meat consumption is influenced both by health and safety factors.
According to the process treatment, meat products can be classified into fresh meat and
processed meats. To obtain fresh meat from muscle, previously a tenderization process
in carcass from some species is required. Chemical composition of fresh meat can vary
substantially, depending on factors, such as species, race, age, feeding management, and retail
cuts. Water is the major component (>60% of raw weight) and carbohydrates as glycogen are
reduced (except in liver). The protein content ranged from 17% to 22% (Table 1.2). It is also
important to note that meat proteins have been distinguished by their essential amino acids
content and their high digestibility. The digestibility is also determined by collagen content,
about 5% of protein (Barron-Hoyos et al., 2013).
Fat content differs significantly not only between species, but also from individuals of the
same species (Table 1.1). It depends also on the anatomical site. The loin is the leanest
portion in both beef and pork while the breast is generally the leanest part in poultry meat.
When the fat content is less than 10% it is considered lean meat or low-fat meat. Age and
sex are the major factors that change profile of FAs of beef meat. Generally, C18:0 (stearic
acid) is higher in bulls and steers than heifers and cows. A relevant data with regard to this
FA is that no significant effects have been detected for C18:0 on biomarkers of cardiovascular
risk (Hammad et al., 2016). Several studies have shown that the FA profile of meat can be
significantly influenced by feed. Significant differences were found between pasture and
grain-fed animal’s FA composition with higher polyunsaturated FA concentrations in pasture
fed groups (Venkata Reddy et al., 2015). Contrary to popular assumption, saturated fatty
acids (SFA) are not predominant in pork meats. The most abundant FAs in pork are C18:1
(oleic acid), C16:0 (palmitic acid), and C18:2n−6 (linoleic acid, LA) (Ros-Freixedes and
Estany, 2014). In Mediterranean lamb SFA reaches 47.5% of total proportion. However,
C18:1 is the most abundant, followed by C16:0 and C18:0 (Kaić et al., 2016).
It is also possible to find trans FAs in meat that are derived mainly from bacterial isomerization of
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the rumen. They consist of a mixture of FAs that are known
as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA is a group of isomers with double bonds in configurations
trans (t) and cis (c). A wide spectrum of isomers with variations in positions and geometry exists,
but the most common are t7,c9; t8,c10; c9,t11; t10,c12; and c11,t13. In meat about 80% of the
CLA is the c9,t11 isomer (rumenic acid, RA). The highest CLA concentrations were found in
lamb (4.3–19.0 mg/g lipid), beef (1.2–10.0 mg/g lipid) and turkey (2–2.5 mg/g lipid). The CLA
content of pork, chicken, and horses is usually lower than 1 mg/g lipid (Schmid et al., 2006).

"It must be true, Robwood. Neither you nor Taat could have killed
him, and Taat's got the film to prove it."
Robwood unstrapped himself and pushed himself to the
companionway with some determination.
"Well, I'm not going to take over the ship and I'm not going to put you
in irons," he said spiritedly. "I couldn't handle the ship on a twenty-
four-hour basis for the next hundred and eighty-six days, and I'd
rather think Makki killed himself."
He paused at the top of the companionway.
"Don't forget," he said. "The Earth transit ought to be at midpoint in a
couple of hours."
Then he disappeared below.
Lefler took the magnetized pencil from the memorandum pad and
wrote a reminder: "E.T. midpoint. Should check 28:16:54."
Lefler leaned back gloomily in the control chair. Had he killed Makki?
It seemed the only way it could have happened, unless Makki had,
indeed, committed suicide. And he just didn't think Makki had.
The chronometer said 1839. Exactly twenty-four hours ago, he had
awakened from a nightmare and had come up to find Makki dead in
this same chair. It seemed a century.
He glanced idly back at the memorandum pad. 28:15:64. He'd have
to make an entry in the log in a little under two hours. How could he
check accurately when the time of entry into transit was estimated?
Twenty-four plus two. Twenty-six.
He sat bolt upright, straining at his straps. He snapped down the
communicator button.
"Robwood, come back up here!" he bellowed.
Unbuckling himself hastily, Lefler headed across the room toward the
heat-gun rack.
Taat was playing solitaire, waiting patiently for Robwood, when Lefler
and Robwood came down to the centerdeck together.
Lefler pointed a heat-gun at Taat.
"Go below and get the irons, Robwood," he said. "Taat, I'm sorry, but
I'm arresting you for the murder of Makki."
Taat raised an eyebrow and continued shuffling cards.
"I don't think you want to do anything like that, Robwood," he said
mildly. "Do you?"
Robwood hesitated and cast an anxious glance at him, but turned
and headed for the companionway to the storage deck.
"You've convinced him, have you, Lefler?" said Taat. "I didn't believe
you were guilty, but this makes me think you are."
Lefler said nothing, but held the gun steadily on Taat. Taat appeared
relaxed, but Lefler sensed a tension in him.
"What makes you think I did it, Lefler?" sparred Taat. The light glinted
from his spectacles as he turned his eyes from Lefler's face to watch
the shuffling cards.
"Two things," said Lefler. "If I'd killed him in a half-asleep daze, I
wouldn't have put gloves on him to make it look like suicide. Second,
your film started at 1500—a strangely precise hour—and Makki was
killed before then."
"The first point is good psychology," conceded Taat. "Since Robwood
couldn't have done it, I'll admit it looks like suicide. But your second
point doesn't hold water. Medical examination is accurate almost to a
fine point on the time of death so soon afterward."
"Medical evidence may not lie, but the examiner can, Taat," said
Lefler.
The clank of the chains resounded up the companionway. Robwood
was coming back. The spring in Taat uncoiled.
With a single sweep, he hurled the deck of cards at Lefler's head and
surged upward. Lefler lost his balance and fell sidewise as he dodged
the improvised missile. But even as he lost his equilibrium, he
pressed the trigger of the heat-gun and brought it downward in a fast
chop.
The straps that held Taat to his chair were his doom. The searing
beam swept across them, freeing him but at the same time blasting a
six-inch swath across his stomach. Taat screamed hoarsely as the
beam swung past him and burned along the floor of the centerdeck.
Lefler regained his balance and floated to Taat's side, pushing aside
the cards that drifted in a swirling cloud about the room. Robwood
appeared from below, the manacles in his hands.
"Your third point wins the day," gasped Taat, his hands writhing over
his mangled abdomen. "I won't last long, but if you'll get me to the
control room I'll radio a confession that'll clear you and Robwood
completely."
"Help me get him to a bunk, Robwood," ordered Lefler, grasping Taat
by the arms. "Taat, you'll have to tell us what to do for you."
"No use," groaned Taat. He managed a ghastly smile. "I unbuckled
your bunk straps to throw you off course, Lefler, but I don't want you
to think I was trying to blame it on you. I was trying to make it look like
Makki killed himself."
"But why, Taat?"
"It wasn't just that Makki cheated me," replied Taat with some
difficulty. "I'd saved several thousand dollars to build a little clinic in
Mars City—something I've dreamed of all my life. That's why I let
Makki talk me into investing—I needed just a little more. But the
business was almost worthless. He stole most of my money. I was
arguing with him about it in the control room, when he drew the gun
and threatened to kill me. He was strapped down. I wrestled with him,
and he was killed in the scuffle. That's it."
They maneuvered Taat into a bunk and tried to arrange the straps to
avoid the gaping wound in his stomach. Taat raised his hand weakly
and removed his spectacles. He blinked up at Lefler.
"I didn't think you knew enough about medicine to tell how long a man
had been dead," he said.
"I don't," said Lefler. "But you set the time of Makki's death at 1830
hours. You said you could tell.
"The Earth transit started at 1612, Taat. I've known Makki all my life. If
he'd been alive then, he'd have recorded it in the log. And he didn't.
"I just figured the only man who had any reason to lie deliberately
about the time of Makki's death was the man who shot him."
Lefler looked at the centerdeck chronometer. It was 2025.
"Do what you can for him, then bring him up to the radio, Robwood,"
he said. "I've got to get up to the control room and record the
midpoint of the Earth transit."
