Foods of Plant Origin Production, Technology, and Human Nutrition

Foods of Plant Origin Production, Technology, and Human Nutrition / by D.K. Salunkhe, S.S. Deshpande.

The present world population of about five billion and its projected growth cre­ ate enonnous pressures and demands for food and industrial raw materials. It is to crop plants, one of our precious few renewable resources, that we must look to meet most of these needs. Globally, about 88% of our calo...
