Synopsis

Food Polymers, Gels and Colloids describes recent developments in the understanding of the role of food polymers in determining the properties of food colloids. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of current activity in the field and covers such topics as: interaction and aggregation behaviour of proteins and polysaccharides in solution; formation and stability of emulsions and foams; interfacial behaviour of food surfactants and macromolecules; and structure and rheology of solutions, gels, and glasses. A major underlying theme is the importance of basic physico-chemical and colloid science principles in understanding the complex behaviour of multi-phase, multi-component foods.

Synopsis

Manufactured foodstuffs typically exist in the form of complex, multi-phase, multi-component, colloidal systems. One way to try to make sense of their chemical and structural complexity is to study simple model systems in which the nature and properties of the polymer molecules and dispersed particles are relatively well known. This volume consists of a collection of papers delivered at a conference on food colloids, the main theme of which was the role of food macromolecules in determining the stability, structure, texture and rheology of food colloids, with particular reference to gelling behaviour and interactions between macromolecules and interfaces. A feature of the collection is the wide range of physico-chemical techniques now being used to address problems in this field.
