Food Emulsifiers and Their Applications [recurso electrónico] : Second Edition / edited by Gerard L. Hasenhuettl, Richard W. Hartel.

Overview of Food Emulsifiers -- Synthesis and Commercial Preparation of Food Emulsifiers -- Analysis of Food Emulsifiers -- Emulsifier-Carbohydrate Interactions -- Protein/Emulsifier Interactions -- Physicochemical Aspects of an Emulsifier Functionality -- Emulsifiers in Dairy Products and Dairy Substitutes -- Emulsifiers in Infant Nutritional Products -- Applications of Emulsifiers in Baked Foods -- Emulsifiers in Confectionery -- Margarines and Spreads -- Application of Emulsifiers to Reduce Fat and Enhance Nutritional Quality -- Guidelines for Processing Emulsion-Based Foods -- Forecasting the Future of Food Emulsifiers.

Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of Food Emulsifiers and their Applications integrates theoretical background with practical orientation and serves as the definitive reference on subject. It offers practitioners an overview of the manufacture, analysis, physical properties, interactions and applications of emulsifiers used in processed food. Written for food technologists as well as R & D and product development personnel, begins with the design and preparation of emulsifiers (including interactions with other food ingredients), which leads in to product categories, including dairy, infant nutrition, bakery, confectionery, and margarine, followed by nutrition improvement and processing techniques. Gerard L. Hasenhuettl is a consultant in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. Richard W. Hartel is a Professor of Food Engineering in the Department of Food Science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin.
