Introduction to the Physical Chemistry of Foods

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This concise, easy-to-understand book presents the fundamental principles of physical chemistry and its relationship to foods and their processing. It begins with basic physics and chemistry concepts, building a foundation of knowledge so readers can then grasp the physical chemistry of food, including processes such as crystallization, melting, distillation, blanching, and homogenization as well as rheology and emulsion and foam stability. This text offers the necessary depth of information and mathematical bases presented in a clear manner for individuals with minimal physical chemistry background.
