Inhaltsangabe

Starch in Food: Structure, Function and Applications, Third Edition is now fully updated with eleven new chapters covering "hot" areas for starch applications, such as starch-based pickering emulsifiers, starch for structuring gluten-free bread products, and starch microspheres for encapsulation of probiotic bacteria. Sections illustrate how plant starch can be analyzed and modified, including chapters on analysis of starch molecular structure, molar mass and size, the relationship between structure and digestion of starch, sources of starch, including new chapters on cereal, root and tuber and pulse starches, and starch applications, with a new chapter on utilizing starches in product development, in baked products and in gluten-free bread.

Starch selection is one of the most complex areas for a product developer, yet starch is key to solving formulation challenges when developing products to meet many of the emerging consumer trends. This book aids the end user on acquiring knowledge on fundamental starch aspects, such as granular and molecular structure and properties, analysis, biosynthesis and general functionality of starch in foods.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Starch in Food: Structure, Function, and Applications, third edition, is now fully updated with eleven new chapters covering exciting areas, such as novel processing technologies to enhance starch functionality, starch molecular structure and its relations with enzymic digestion, starch-based emulsifiers, and starch microspheres for encapsulation.

Starch selection is a challenging area for a product developer yet plays a crucial role in addressing formulation challenges to meet emerging consumer trends. This book provides essential knowledge on fundamental aspects of starch, covering granular and molecular structure, properties, analysis, biosynthesis, and general functionality in food.

This book is divided into three parts. Part one illustrates how plant starch can be analyzed and modified, with new chapters on analysis of starch molecular structure, molar mass, and size; the relationship between structure and digestion of starch; and the influence of plant cell wall properties on the bioaccesibility of starch. Part two examines the sources of starch with new chapters on cereal, maize, and pulse starches. Part three delves into starch applications, with, for instance, a new chapter on utilizing starches in product development.
