Unconventional Functional Fermented Beverages: Practices and Technologies addresses the technological and functional aspects of fermented beverages that are being produced and consumed around the world. A wide array of unconventional, unique beverages are covered, from new, non-dairy kefir products, to coffee, honey, and coconut-based beverages, exploring a huge variety of non-alcoholic fermented drinks. The book investigates the scientific principles behind each of these beverages and covers manufacturing methods and new technologies, as well as health and safety in the manufacture of fermented beverages. Readers will find practical guidance for beverage producers as well as novel, academic material for functional food scientists and technologists.
