Kurzbeschreibung
This book is a practical guide to the use of polymers in food technology to stabilise, thicken and gel foods, resulting in consistent, high quality products. Stabilisers and gelling agents can enhance the shelf stability, appearance, texture, flow, body, palatability and mouthfeel of food products. Each chapter covers a different additive, and emphasis is placed on commercial applications. Raw materials, processing, composition and chemistry are considered, linking the structure of the polymer to the properties conferred to the food. Future developments are identified.
