    Summary: The integration of enzymes in food processing is well known, and dedicated research is continually being pursued to address the global food crisis. This book provides a broad, up-to-date overview of the enzymes used in food technology. It discusses microbial, plant and animal enzymes in the context of their applications in the food sector; process of immobilization; thermal and operational stability; increased product specificity and specific activity; enzyme engineering; implementation of high-throughput techniques; screening of relatively unexplored environments; and development of more efficient enzymes. Offering a comprehensive reference resource on the most progressive field of food technology, this book is of interest to professionals, scientists and academics in the food and biotech industries.

    Current evidence suggests that diarrheagenic E. coli are not important causes of disease in the sanitized urban centers of the United States at this time. However, enterotoxigenic E. coli are a leading cause of diarrhea among travelers who visit developing countries. The failure of diarrheagenic E. coli pathogens to gain a foothold in this country, despite problems with enteropathogenic E. coli in nurseries during the 1940s and 1950s and the more recent multiple introductions of enterotoxigenic E. coli by travelers returning from developing areas of the world, demonstrates the epidemiologic impotence of diarrheagenic E. coli in the relatively sanitized environment of the United States. Nondiarrheagenic E. coli seem to be major pathogens in community-acquired and nosocomial infections in extraintestinal sites.
