The Encyclopedia of Grain Science is an in-depth and authoritative reference covering all areas of grain science. Coverage includes everything from the genetics of grains to the commercial, economic and social aspects of this important food source. Also covered are the biology and chemistry of grains, the applied aspects of grain production and the processing of grains into various food and beverage products. With the paramount role of cereals as a global food source, this Encyclopedia is sure to become the standard reference work in the field of science.
Also available online via ScienceDirect – featuring extensive browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases, making navigation flexible and easy.

About the Author
Colin Wrigley’s 45 years in cereal chemistry research have earned him international recognition, in the form of several international and Australian research awards. His work is described in over 500 research publications, including several patents, a series of eight books on Australian cereal varieties and many edited books.
His research interests centre on the characterisation of cereal-grain proteins in relation to processing quality. This has involved developing new methods of protein fractionation, including gel isoelectric focusing and its two-dimensional combination with gel electrophoresis. Other diagnostic methods developed relate to the evaluation of grain quality in wheat and barley, such as better methods for variety identification, and for characterising quality in starch and sprouted grain (as co-patentor of the Rapid ViscoAnalyser). Research involvement also includes elucidation of grain-quality variation due to environmental factors (heat stress, fertiliser use and storage conditions).
Currently, Dr Wrigley is an Honorary Research Fellow at Food Science Australia, in Sydney, and a Consultant to the Value-Added Wheat Cooperative Research Centre. This role includes acting as a mentor to the “next generation of cereal chemists.
Professor Harold Corke is Dean of Research and Professor of Biotechnology and Food Engineering at Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Shantou, PR China, and Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.
Most recently, he was a “Shanghai 1000 Plan foreign expert, and full-time Chair Professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology, School of Agriculture and Biology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, from 2016-2020. He was previously Professor in Food and Nutritional Sciences, School of Biological Sciences, The University of Hong Kong, where he spent 24 years. Prof. Corke is active in both basic and applied research in grain processing, genetics of grain quality, and chemistry of plant bioactives. He has published more than 260 international journal papers. He was editor of the Elsevier Encyclopedia of Food Grains (2016) and is currently editor of Journal of Cereal Science, and editor of LWT-Food Science and Technology.
C. E. (Chuck) Walker: Born and raised in rural southern Iowa in the US, he received his BS in Chemical Engineering at Iowa State University in 1959 and his PhD in Cereal Chemistry from North Dakota State University in 1966. He worked in Flour Milling Research for General Mills, Minneapolis, MN and in Baked Food Product Development for Fairmont Foods Co, Omaha, NE. He taught Science and Chemistry at Valley City, ND, State College, and Cereal Technology and Food Science at the University of Nebraska. Since 1987, he has been Senior Professor of Bakery Science & Management at Kansas State University. His principle interests currently include the Applied Rheology of starch and dough and Baking Oven Technology. He is best known for research with Sucrose Ester emulsifiers, his work on expanding the capabilities and applications of the Rapid Visco-Analyser, for computerizing the Mixograph, and for research on impingement and hybrid oven technologies.
