Much has changed in how science is conducted and the knowledge base since the first edition was published in 1986, so scientists have pretty thoroughly revised the chapters, and added one of the molecular biology of oats. Other topics include oat breeding, the microsctructure and chemistry of the oat kernel, storage proteins, oats as a functional food for health, current and potential health claims for oat products, and flavor and texture in the processing of new oat foods.
