Download or read book Food Gels written by Peter Harris and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The food technologist who wishes to produce a gelled product is faced with two basic options for achieving the desired effect; whether to use a protein or a polysaccharide. Although a gel can be formed by either a protein or a polysaccharide, the resultant gels have different characteristics: • Polysaccharide gels are characterised by their fine texture and transparency which is achieved at a low polymer concentration. They can be formed by heating and cooling, pH adjustment or specific ion addition . • Protein gels are characterised by a higher polymer concentration (5-10%) and are formed almost exclusively by heat denaturation. Before reaching a final decision, the technologist must take a number of factors into consideration. The purpose of this book is to help the technologist in his choice by providing fundamental practical information, in one book, on the properties of gels (and factors which influence them) for both types of biopolymer. To help the reader, each chapter is (wherever possible) organised in the same way so that, for example, information on structure will always be available in section 2. The examples in the Applications section of each chapter are not meant to be exhaustive, but to illustrate the various ways in which the particular polymer can be used to form a gelled product.
Download or read book Food Polymers Gels and Colloids written by E. Dickinson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Conventional and Advanced Food Processing Technologies written by Suvendu Bhattacharya and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-11-17 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food processing technologies are an essential link in the food chain. These technologies are many and varied, changing in popularity with changing consumption patterns and product popularity. Newer process technologies are also being evolved to provide the added advantages. Conventional and Advanced Food Processing Technologies fuses the practical (application, machinery), theoretical (model, equation) and cutting-edge (recent trends), making it ideal for industrial, academic and reference use. It consists of two sections, one covering conventional or well-established existing processes and the other covering emerging or novel process technologies that are expected to be employed in the near future for the processing of foods in the commercial sector. All are examined in great detail, considering their current and future applications with added examples and the very latest data. Conventional and Advanced Food Processing Technologies is a comprehensive treatment of the current state of knowledge on food processing technology. In its extensive coverage, and the selection of reputed research scientists who have contributed to each topic, this book will be a definitive text in this field for students, food professionals and researchers.
Download or read book Edible Oleogels written by Alejandro G. Marangoni and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to provide alternatives to trans and saturated fats, scientists have been busy modifying the physical properties of oils to resemble those of fats. In this fashion, many food products requiring a specific texture and rheology can be made with these novel oil-based materials without causing significant changes to final product quality. The major approach to form these materials is to incorporate specific molecules (polymers, amphiphiles, waxes) into the oil components that will alter the physical properties of the oil so that its fluidity will decrease and the rheological properties will be similar to those of fats. These new oilbased materials are referred to as oil gels, or "oleogels," and this emerging technology is the focus of many scientific investigations geared toward helping decrease the incidence of obesity and cardiovascular disease. - Presents a novel strategy to eliminate trans fats from our diets and avoid excessive amounts of saturated fat by structuring oil to make it behave like crystalline fat - Reviews recent advances in the structuring of edible oils to form new mesoscale and nanoscale structures, including nanofibers, mesophases, and functionalized crystals and crystalline particles - Identifies evidence on how to develop trans fat free, low saturate functional shortenings for the food industry that could make a major impact on the health characteristics of the foods we consume

Download or read book Flavour in Food written by Andree Voilley and published by Taylor & Francis US. This book was released on 2006-03-08 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation The flavour of a food is one of its most important qualities. Edited by two leading authorities in the field, and with a distinguished international team of contributors, this important collection summarises the wealth of recent research on how flavour develops in food and is then perceived by the consumer. The first part of the book reviews ways of measuring flavour. Part 2 looks at the ways flavour is retained and released in food. It considers the way flavour is retained in particular food matrices, how flavour is released during the process of eating, and the range of influences governing how flavour is perceived by the consumer. Flavour in food guides the reader through a complex subject and provides the essential foundation in both understanding and controlling food flavour. CONTENTS Part 1 Characterisation of aroma compounds: Choosing the correct analytical technique; Gaschromatography olfactometry; Human perception of taste compounds; Sensory analysis of food flavour; Matching sensory and instrumental data. Part 2 Flavour retention and release in the food matrix: Flavour binding; Emulsion-flavour interactions; Carbohydrate-flavour interactions; Modelling aroma interactions; The process of flavour release; Odourtaste interactions in flavour perception; Modulation of taste by flavour preferences.

This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 1117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The necessity of prediction and fine control in the food manufacturing process is becoming more important than ever before, and food researchers and engineers must confront difficulties arising from the specificity of food materials and the sensitivity of human beings to taste. Fortunately, an overview of world research reveals that the mechanisms of the many complex phenomena found in the food manufacturing process have been gradually elucidated by skilful experiments using new analytical tools, methods and theoretical analyses. This book, the proceedings of the 6th International Congress on Engineering and Food (ICEF6), held for the first time in Asia - in Chiba, Japan May 23 -27, 1993 - summarizes the frontiers of world food engineering in 1993. Congress was joined by the 4th International Conference on Fouling and Cleaning. There were 476 active members from 31 countries participating in the Congress. The editors hope that readers will find this book to be a useful review of the current state of food engineering, and will consider future developments in this research field. The editors extend thanks to the members of the organizing committee of ICEF6, and the advisors, Dr. Ryozo Toei, Professor Emeritus of Kyoto University and Dr. Masao Fujimaki, Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo. They also acknowledge the international advisory board members who helped the organizing committee in many ways, and the 10 foundations and 66 companies that financially supported the ICEF6. Finally, the editors are indebted to the reviewers of the manuscripts of these proceedings.
