Biopolymers for Food Design, Volume 20 pdf Александру Михай Грумезеску
Biopolymers for Food Design, Volume 20 in the Handbook of Bioengineering series, describes how biopolymers have made a major impact in the food industry, from food design, to food control and safety. Biopolymers can be used in the development of novel nutritional alternatives, to replace difficult to obtain food products, or for foods inaccessible or inappropriate for a particular population (i.e. allergic to specific components). In addition, some polymers can be used as functional ingredients, and can also represent efficient scaffolds for food ingredients with therapeutic values. This valuable reference is ideal for those looking for new solutions for the food industry.
- Presents common biopolymers and their applications in food bioengineering, from food design, to control and safety
- Identifies how the use of certain biopolymers can result in faster production time and reduced costs
- Includes cutting-edge technologies used in research for food design and other food-related applications
- Discusses the use of biopolymers in food packaging, shelf-life extension, and the creation of novel food products
