Hoewel met organische chemie oorspronkelijk werd bedoeld de chemie die zich bezig hield met verbindingen afkomstig van levende materie (organismen) is het gebied geleidelijk verbreed tot de chemie van de koolstofverbindingen. Hieronder vallen dus ook de verbindingen die op synthetische wijze in het laboratorium zijn bereid. Veel dingen waarmee we dagelijks in aanraking komen, zoals voedingsmiddelen, kleding, kunststoffen, papier, bestrijdingsmiddelen, medicijnen, geur-, kleur- en smaakstoffen, bestaan geheel of gedeeltelijk uit organische verbindingen. Het gebied dat de chemie van levende processen beschrijft wordt tegenwoordig vooral tot de biochemie gerekend. In de bio-organische chemie wordt de oorspronkelijke betekenis van de organische chemie weer teruggehaald: het is de organische chemie die een relatie legt met levende processen in de natuur. Dit gebied heeft een snelle ontwikkeling doorgemaakt. Dankzij de sterk toegenomen kennis binnen zowel de organische chemie als de biochemie, wordt het steeds beter mogelijk eigenschappen van verbindingen en processen in de natuur te verklaren met behulp van algemeen geldende organisch chemische basisprincipes. Dit boek laat op beknopte wijze zien dat de chemische basisprincipes die ten grondslag liggen aan eenvoudige reacties in het laboratorium ook van toepassing zijn op ogenschijnlijk ingewikkelde processen in de natuur. Dit boek is een beknopte versie van het veel gebruikte studieboek "Inleiding in de Bio-organische Chemie".

Technological and managerial principles and practices
Also available as E-book see food-quality-management For more information about the e-book, please contact Sales.
Consumer understanding of food quality is crucial as their concerns for healthy, safe and sustainable food production remain high. This forces actors and stakeholders in the agribusiness and food industry to use quality management as a strategic approach in production and innovation. This book describes Food Quality Management (FQM) in one integrated concept. Firstly, all relevant aspects of food quality management are combined into one FQM-function model, which shaped the structure of the book chapters. Secondly, the authors have embedded the techno-managerial approach in the book. This approach starts with the notion that food quality is the outcome of the combined effect of food behaviour and human behaviour. The core principle of this approach is the concurrent use of technological and managerial theories and models to analyse food systems behaviour and people's quality behaviour and generate adequate improvements to the system. Topics covered in the book include food quality properties and concepts, essentials of quality management and food technology, and details about food and human behaviour. Furthermore, this book describes in detail the technological and managerial principles and practices in the five FQM functions, quality design, quality control, quality improvement, quality assurance, and quality policy and strategy. Moreover, for each function a special topic relevant for the function is highlighted, namely consumer-oriented design, product versus resource control, quality gurus and improvement, quality assurance standards and guidelines (like GMP, HACCP, ISO2200, IFS and BRC), and Total Quality Management. This publication is a must-have for students, researchers and agribusiness and food industry professionals active in various areas of food production in the supply chain. The integrated approach with technological and managerial principles and concepts for analysing food quality management issues makes this a valuable reference book.

Een introductie tot de moleculaire celbiologie
Also available as E-book see de-bouwstenen-van-het-leven For more information about the e-book, please contact Sales.
De bouwstenen van het leven is een Nederlandstalige tegenhanger van in het hoger onderwijs veelgebruikte Engelstalige leerboeken over biochemie en celbiologie, ook wel Life Sciences genoemd. Overzichtelijke illustraties en heldere tekst geven inzicht in de wereld van DNA, RNA, eiwitten en andere voor het leven onmisbare moleculen. De biologische processen waarin deze moleculen een rol spelen worden stap voor stap uitgelegd. Tegelijk leert de lezer daarbij op speelse wijze enig jargon (vaktaal) te hanteren, in zowel het Nederlands als het Engels. Ingewikkelde begrippen worden duidelijk uitgelegd, waardoor wetenschappelijke kennis over processen in ons lichaam en over de natuur om ons heen voor een breed publiek inzichtelijk wordt gemaakt. Dit boek is een introductie tot de moleculaire celbiologie. De informatie wordt in lagen aangereikt zodat de lezer zelf de mate van diepgang en detail kan bepalen. Jan Prinsen en Feike van der Leij hebben voor deze derde druk het boek grondig tegen het licht gehouden en waar nodig herzien. Zij gebruikten hierbij reacties van lezers, onder anderen van studenten en docenten in het mbo, hbo en wo. Nieuw in deze druk zijn een hoofdstuk over transgene planten en dieren en een hoofdstuk over CRISPR-Cas technologie. dr. Nelleke Kreike, lector Groene Biotechnologie aan Hogeschool Inholland, heeft hiervoor waardevolle input geleverd. Drs. Jan A.M.M. Prinsen richt zich na een actieve loopbaan als tandarts op het toegankelijk maken van kennis over de moleculaire celbiologie. Hij verzorgde het merendeel van de verhelderende illustraties en een groot deel van de tekst. Hij werkte nauw samen met dr. Feike R. van der Leij, die een brede achtergrond in moleculair biologische en medische wetenschappen heeft, en als hogeschooldocent en lector Health & Food bij diverse hogescholen actief is geweest; op dit moment bij Hogeschool Inholland."

Ingewikkelde begrippen worden duidelijk uitgelegd, waardoor wetenschappelijke kennis over processen in ons lichaam en over de natuur om ons heen voor een breed publiek inzichtelijk wordt gemaakt. Dit boek is een introductie tot de moleculaire celbiologie. De informatie wordt in lagen aangereikt zodat de lezer zelf de mate van diepgang en detail kan bepalen. Jan Prinsen en Feike van der Leij hebben voor deze derde druk het boek grondig tegen het licht gehouden en waar nodig herzien. Zij gebruikten hierbij reacties van lezers, onder anderen van studenten en docenten in het mbo, hbo en wo. Nieuw in deze druk zijn een hoofdstuk over transgene planten en dieren en een hoofdstuk over CRISPR-Cas technologie. dr. Nelleke Kreike, lector Groene Biotechnologie aan Hogeschool Inholland, heeft hiervoor waardevolle input geleverd. Drs. Jan A.M.M. Prinsen richt zich na een actieve loopbaan als tandarts op het toegankelijk maken van kennis over de moleculaire celbiologie. Hij verzorgde het merendeel van de verhelderende illustraties en een groot deel van de tekst. Hij werkte nauw samen met dr. Feike R. van der Leij, die een brede achtergrond in moleculair biologische en medische wetenschappen heeft, en als hogeschooldocent en lector Health & Food bij diverse hogescholen actief is geweest; op dit moment bij Hogeschool Inholland."

The twenty-first century has witnessed a fundamental reform of food law in the European Union, to the point where modern EU food law has now come of age. This 'EU Food Law Handbook' presents the most significant elements of these legal developments with contributions from a highly qualified international team of academics and practitioners. Their analysis is based on a shared vision of the structure and content of EU food law. The book takes the perspective of food law embedded within general EU law. It highlights the consequences of this combination and provides insights into both substantive and procedural food law. Taking the General Food Law as a focal point, this handbook systematically analyses and explains the institutional, substantive and procedural elements of EU food law. Principles are discussed as well as specific rules addressing food as a product, the processes related to food and communication about food to consumers through labelling. These rules define requirements on subjects like market authorisation for food additives, novel foods and genetically modified foods, chemical and biological contaminants in food, food hygiene, tracking & tracing, withdrawal & recall, food labelling and claims. The powers of public authorities to enforce food law and to deal with incidents are outlined. Attention is given to the international context (WTO, Codex Alimentarius) as well as to private standards. In addition to the systematic analysis, the book includes selected topics such as nutrition and health policy, special foods, food import requirements, food contact materials, intellectual property, private food law, and animal feed. In this new edition, existing chapters have been updated to take account of many important developments in legislation and case law. Several new topics have been added to the analysis such as the right to food, organics and food fraud. The 'EU Food Law Handbook' is produced in co-operation with the European Institute for Food Law. It is relevant for practitioners and academics both with and without a background in law. It is ideal for education purposes.

'Breeding crops with resistance to diseases and pests' is the most up-to-date textbook on this topic targeted towards students in Plant Sciences. This book describes the most basic elements in plant pathogen interactions and defence strategies in plants. The scientific background is explained as far as it is relevant for breeders to make sensible choices in designing and running their breeding work. A major part of the book presents the options plant breeders have to consider such as what strategy to follow, what aspects to evaluate or measure, and whether it is best to apply mixtures of pathotypes or to test pathotypes one by one. Professionals, notably in the field of Plant Breeding, may also use it as a manual for disease resistance breeding. The book should be of interest to anyone interested in plant defence strategies and the enhancement of resistance in modern cultivars. In order to enliven and illustrate the text, background reading, interesting examples and exceptions, concrete cases of application and further reading are given. Supplementary reading is readily distinguished from the main text by a different typography, so it is clear what material is most relevant and what is meant as examples supporting the main story lines. Most sections are followed by exercises so that students can test whether they understood the material that was presented.

Technology for optimal crop production
Also available as E-book see contact Sales.
This book provides an integrated approach to crop growth and development and the technical aspects of greenhouse cultivation and climate management. It combines an analysis of the relationship between crop production and ambient climate with an explanation of the processes that determine the climate in a protected environment. With the ability to modify the environment comes the need for growers to strike a balance between the costs and benefits of technology. This book outlines the methods and gives several examples of how to make 'optimal' choices about technology. Sustainable management of shoot and root environment is discussed, as well as the pros and cons of vertical farming. The processes addressed in this book, like crop growth, energy balance and mass exchange, apply to any kind of greenhouse. Therefore, in spite of the word 'technology', this is not a book about high-tech greenhouses only. 'Greenhouse horticulture' is an easy-to-read textbook for all those interested in protected cultivation, from university students and teachers to professional advisers in the field and managers of horticultural companies.
