Explore the roles aeration can play in the production, stability, and consumer experience of foods Aeration is an increasingly prevalent part of food manufacturing, bringing a light texture, enhanced appearance, and richer flavors to a wide range of products. Essential to the creation of everything from ice cream and popcorn to cheese and beer, the incorporation of fine air bubbles into the foods we consume can also boost satiety and thus reduce calorific intake. Aerated Foods examines this process in detail, offering a complete overview of all aspects of aeration. With sections that address the effects of aeration upon product structure and stability, this informative book explains how food formulation influences the shelf life, texture, and overall experience of different foods. Chapters also outline the various methods by which aeration can be achieved, breaking down the science and technology involved in the incorporation of air Details the mechanisms and overall results of aeration as a method of food processing Covers innovative and experimental aeration techniques Looks at the role of aeration in baking Aerated Foods provides food scientists, researchers, and product developers with an invaluable guide to this multifaceted and fast-growing method of food production.

Bubbles give novelty and distinctiveness to many food and drink products including the most important and interesting ones such as bread, beer, ice cream, whipped cream, soufflés and champagne. Understanding the creation and control of bubbles in food products is key to the success of the domestic chef or the industrial food manufacturer. This new volume presents the proceedings of the conference Bubbles in Food 2: Novelty, Health and Luxury. This book is fully updated and expanded from the original Bubbles in Food book published in 1999. This new title brings together up-to-date information on the latest developments in this fast moving area. Bubbles in Food 2 includes novel experimental techniques for measuring and quantifying the aerated structure of foods (e.g. ultrasonics, MRI imaging, X-ray tomography, microscopy, rheology, image analysis), and novel analytical approaches for interpreting aerated food properties and behavior. These techniques and approaches provide stimulus for new product development or for enhancing the understanding of the manufacture of existing products, leading to enhanced quality and greater product differentiation. Bubbles in Food 2: Novelty, Health and Luxury aims to enhance the appreciation of aerated foods and to provide stimulation and cross fertilisation of ideas for the exploitation of bubbles as a novel and versatile food ingredient.

Food Process Engineering Principles and Data provides an overview of topics surrounding safety and quality in processing foods. The book covers a range of physical properties of foods, providing background information on the physical, chemical and engineering properties of foods to ensure food safety and perform engineering calculations. Chapters are self-contained, with comprehensive charts of food properties, making this unique a great reference for scientists who need a single, handy source of information. Written by an authority on the physical properties of foods and food engineering, this book is ideal for food scientists, technologists, manufacturers and processors.In addition, chemical engineers and biotechnologists will also benefit from the content of this comprehensive title. - Thoroughly explores a collection of data on the physical properties of foods and food processing systems - Presents background information on the chemical, physical and engineering properties of foods - Includes comprehensive charts with data on food properties

The field of food colloids is concerned with the structural and dynamic aspects of multi-phase food systems - dispersions, emulsions, foams, gels - viewed from a physical chemistry perspective as assemblies of molecules and particles in various states of organisation. The main molecular components of food colloids are proteins, lipids and polysaccharides. The primary objective of the field is to relate the structural, stability and rheological properties of such systems to the interactions between constituent components and to their distribution between the bulk phases and various kinds of interfaces. This volume records most of the lecture programme at the international conference on "Food Colloids - Proteins, Lipids and Polysaccharides" held in Sweden on 24-26th April 1996.
