Handbook of Enology: The Microbiology of Wine and Vinifications, Volume 1, 2nd Edition By Professor Pascal Ribereau?Gayon, Denis Dubourdieu, Bernard Doneche, Aline Lonvaud(auth.)
2005 | 497 Pages | ISBN: 0470010347 | PDF | 5 MB
The "Microbiology" volume of the new revised and updated Handbook of Enology focuses on the vinification process. It describes how yeasts work and how they can be influenced to achieve better results. It continues to look at the metabolism of lactic acid bacterias and of acetic acid bacterias, and again, how can they be treated to avoid disasters in the winemaking process and how to achieve optimal results. The last chapters in the book deal with the use of sulfur-dioxide, the grape and its maturation process, harvest and pre-fermentation treatment, and the basis of red, white and speciality wine making. The result is the ultimate text and reference on the science and technology of the vinification process: understanding and dealing with yeasts and bacterias involved in the transformation from grape to wine. A must for all serious students and practitioners involved in winemaking.Content: Chapter 1 Cytology, Taxonomy and Ecology of Grape and Wine Yeasts (pages 1-51): Chapter 2 Biochemistry of Alcoholic Fermentation and Metabolic Pathways of Wine Yeasts (pages 53-77): Chapter 3 Conditions of Yeast Development (pages 79-113): Chapter 4 Lactic Acid Bacteria (pages 115-137): Chapter 5 Metabolism of Lactic Acid Bacteria (pages 139-159): Chapter 6 Lactic Acid Bacteria Development in Wine (pages 161-181): Chapter 7 Acetic Acid Bacteria (pages 183-192): Chapter 8 The Use of Sulfur Dioxide in Must and Wine Treatment (pages 193-221): Chapter 9 Products and Methods Complementing the Effect of Sulfur Dioxide (pages 223-240): Chapter 10 The Grape and its Maturation (pages 241-297): Chapter 11 Harvest and Pre?Fermentation Treatments (pages 299-325): Chapter 12 Red Winemaking (pages 327-395): Chapter 13 White Winemaking (pages 397-443): Chapter 14 Other Winemaking Methods (pages 445-480):

Handbook of Drinking Water Quality, Second Edition By John De Zuane(auth.)
1996 | 562 Pages | ISBN: 047128789X | PDF | 37 MB
"Well-written and informative." --Richard Lewis, Lewis Information Systems "This ook combines information which could possibly have required as many as four reference sources in the past." --Steven C. Messer In its first edition, John De Zuane's popular reference drew wide praise for being an insightful theoretical resource. Now, in the second edition of Handbook of Drinking Water Quality, De Zuane builds on that legacy with the same practical and conceptual emphases, adding a wealth of new information that provides immediate access to the data and guidelines needed to * understand the impact of drinking water parameters on public health * help build and operate water supply facilities * conduct reliable drinking water sampling, monitoring, and analytical evaluation * implement potability standards from the source to the treatment facility, to storage, to the tap * write new standards and expand/modify existing standards as quickly as needed Preventing contamination of drinking water requires a multidisciplinary perspective, one that incorporates elements of bacteriology, chemistry, physics, engineering, public health, preventive medicine, and control and evaluation management. In a concise, easy-to-use format, Handbook of Drinking Water Quality, Second Edition, describes * Data and guidelines from the World Health Organization and the European Community used to develop drinking water standards * U.S. drinking water standards--their physical, chemical, microbiological, and radionuclide parameters and monitoring requirements * EPA-approved analytical methods and the most effective treatment technologies for each contaminant * Critical concepts of water quality control as applied in water treatment in conventional or chemical treatment plants * Disinfection and fluoridation requirements * Common problems with water distribution systems, including dead ends, sediments, bacterial growth, insufficient pressure, and main breaks To keep pace with recent breakthroughs in scientific research, water analysis, and program implementation and monitoring, this Second Edition features expanded and updated information on * All drinking water regulations issued since the previous edition in 1990 * Current drinking water standards adopted by the European Community * Lead poisoning, radon, and Cryptosporidium * Compulsory water treatment for lead and copper * Coliform Rule compliance (disinfection and filtration) * Trihalomethane reduction with ozonation As a quick reference, handbook, and technical manual Handbook of Drinking Water Quality, Second Edition, is an essential volume for engineers, water supply and treatment personnel, environmental scientists, public health officials, or anyone responsible for assuring the safety of drinking water.Content: Chapter 1 Potable Water (pages 1-17): Chapter 2 General or Physical Parameters (pages 19-47): Chapter 3 Chemical Parameters - Inorganics (pages 49-148): Chapter 4 Chemical Parameters-Organic Compounds (pages 149-295): Chapter 5 Microbiological Parameters (pages 297-329): Chapter 6 Radionuclide Paramters (pages 331-353): Chapter 7 Carcinogens (pages 355-365): Chapter 8 Water Analyses (pages 367-399): Chapter 9 Public Health Regulations (pages 401-417): Chapter 10 Water Treatment (pages 419-481): Chapter 11 Federal Regulations (pages 483-513):
