Polysaccharide Association Structures in Food

• Origin of polysaccharide supramolecular assemblies; polysaccharide molecular structures; gel formation and ultrastructure in food polysaccharides; structures and phase transitions of starch polymers; microcrystalline cellulose technology; cyclodextrins; starch-lipid interactions; interactions in whey protein/polysaccharide mixtures at pH 7; polysaccharide-metal interactions; rheology of structured polysaccharide food systems - starch and pectin.

". . .an excellent treatment of an important and interesting subject, well written and presented, and with technical content of a very high order. It deserves a place on the bookshelves of professionals involved in basic research, product development and quality assurance, and it would be a most useful reference text for senior tertiary students in food science and technology. Highly recommended. "---Food Australia
