Bücher von David Julian McClements

The aim of this book is to highlight the many exciting advances being made in the science of foods, and to show their application for solving important problems related to the modern food supply, such as tackling chronic diseases, feeding a global population, reducing food waste, and creating healthier and tastier foods.

Continuing the mission of the first two editions, this third edition covers the fundamentals of emulsion science and demonstrates how this knowledge can be applied to control the appearance, stability and texture of many common emulsion-based foods. With two new chapters, this edition provides the most comprehensive and contemporary discussion of the field of food emulsions currently available. The new chapters cover the behavior of food emulsions within the gastrointestinal tract after ingestion and the application of emulsion-based delivery systems.

This book covers the formation, properties, characterization, and application of different kinds of colloidal delivery systems that can be utilized within the food industry, including surfactant-based, emulsion-based, and biopolymer-based systems. The book takes a traditional colloid science approach to the subject with particular emphasis on the practical aspects of formulation of particulate and emulsion-based delivery systems for pharmaceutical and food applications. It covers active ingredients drawn from proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids as well as mineral-based active ingredients. The book describes particle characteristics and explains mechanical particle fabrication methods.
