| Book Description | Edible Mushrooms provides an advanced overview of the chemical composition and nutritional properties of nearly all species of culinary mushrooms. This unique compendium gathers all current literature, which has beendispersed as fragmentary information until now. The book is broken into five parts covering chemical and nutrient composition, taste and flavor components as well as health stimulating and potentially detrimental effects. Appendices provide helpful quick references on abbreviations, common names of mushrooms, fatty acid profiles, and an index of mushroom species. Mycologists, nutrition researchers, mushroom cultivators and distributors, and food and neutraceutical processors will benefit from this sweeping overview of edible mushrooms. |
| About the Author | Professor Kalac has been researching Edible Mushroom chemistry for over 40 years and has been publishing reviews and articles on the topic in the 1990´s. Encouraged by the citations of researchers studying related topics, Pavel Kalac is excited to share all of the gathered knowledge on the topic of edible mushroom chemistry together in this well-cited scientific reference. Graduated in the Institute of Chemical Technology, Faculty of Food and Biochemical Technology, Prague (1965). At the recent workplace since 1971; associate professor (1983) and professor in agricultural chemistry (1999). Publications: 60 in the Web of Science, including 36 articles and reviews in Elsevier journals (particularly in Food Chemistry (19) and Meat Science (8)). Sum of times cited without self-citations 1680 (Web of Science), h-index 21. Biologically active natural compounds, both desirable and detrimental for human health, at an interface agriculture / food have been topic of my professional interest and teaching for decades. Expanding information particularly during the last decade encouraged my idea to collect recent knowledge in a book. |
