This important book covers the main types of materials that foodscientists have to deal with. Special attention is given to starchand gluten as being of particular importance in food science andnot typical of general classes of substance. The book approachesthe subject matter form a physics viewpoint. Based on the fundamental quantitative principles, which must formthe basis for any discussion, qualitative or quantitative, aboutthe behaviour of the systems involved, the book thus differs fromothers currently available. The editor, Peter Belton, currentlyPresident of the Institute of Food Science and Technology has drawntogether an impressive list of international contributors,providing a book which is essential to all those involved in workon the structure of foods

Many chemical substances or compounds - organic or inorganic, natural or synthetic - are not used in their pure form. In order for the active ingredient to be most effective or to obtain the ideal delivery form for the market, the actual synthesis and purification steps are followed by formulation to give end products that range from powders, agglomerates, and granules to suspensions, emulsions, microemulsions, microcapsules, instant preparations, liposomes, and tablets. Formulation combines colloid and surface chemistry with chemical process engineering; sometimes it consists of a simple mixing operation, sometimes it requires an entire series of rather complicated engineering procedures such as comminution, dispersion, emulsification, agglomeration or drying. This book covers basic physico-chemical theory as well as its applications in the chemical industry for the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, pigments and dyes, food, detergents, cosmetics and many other products; it also provides chemists and chemical engineers with the necessary practical tools for the understanding of the structure/ activity relationship.

Since the publication of the first edition of Canada, and Australia have increased teach Handbook of Powder Science and Technology, ing, research, and training activities in areas the field of powder science and technology has related to particle science and technology. gained broader recognition and its various ar In addition, it is worth mentioning the many eas of interest have become more defined and books and monographs that have been pub focused. Research and application activities lished on specific areas of particle, powder, related to particle technology have increased and particle fluid by professional publishers, globally in academia, industry, and research technical societies and university presses. Also, institutions. During the last decade, many to date, there are many career development groups, with various scientific, technical, and courses given by specialists and universities on engineering backgrounds have been founded various facets of powder science and technol to study, apply, and promote interest in areas ogy.

The topics discussed in this text range from quasi-static problems to dynamic problems, and are divided into 15 groups, such as: cohesion/cracking; wave propagation; and quasi-static behaviour. Each group contains theoretical, experimental and computational approaches by researchers.
