  • Food Emulsions and Foams

    • 1st Edition
    • E. Dickinson
    • English
    This text explains how properties of the system are affected by such factors as the crystallisation of the fat, the surface behaviour of the proteins, and presence of various small molecules and ions in the aqueous phase.

  • Plant Polymeric Carbohydrates

    • 1st Edition
    • F Meuser + 2 more
    • English
    The International Symposium on Plant Polymeric Carbohydrates, which was held as a satellite symposium of the International Carbohydrate Meeting, has become a symposium in its own right, bringing together an number of experts to exchange knowledge. This has been achieved by placing the emphasis on specific aspects of carbohydrate research in the selection and organization of the items on the programme. The aim of the symposium was to present the latest research in sub-branches of the biosynthesis and structure of polymeric carbohydrates, their rheological properties, both as pure substances and in complex bonds with other natural materials, their nutritional importance with respect to their physicochemical and nutritive properties, and their industrial applications in food and non-food.

  • Food Structure

    Creation and Evaluation
    • 1st Edition
    • J. R. Mitchell + 1 more
    • English
    The book considers fundamental concepts and discusses dispersed food systems such as gels, emulsions and foams and chemical properties of food polymers. It examines structured food systems such as fibrous and non-fibrous systems, and concludes with and evaluation of food structure by microscopic, rheologic and sensor means.

  • Handbook of Textile Fibres

    Man-Made Fibres
    • 1st Edition
    • J Gordon Cook
    • English
    This book offers a comprehensive survey of the man-made fibres, including rayons and other natural polymer fibres, and the true synthetic fibres which have made such rapid progress in modern times.

  • Handbook of Textile Fibres

    Natural Fibres
    • 1st Edition
    • J Gordon Cook
    • English
    A comprehensive survey of the natural fibres animal, vegetable and mineral on which we depended for our textiles until comparatively recently.

  • Weaving

    Conversion of Yarn to Fabric
    • 2nd Edition
    • Peter R. Lord + 1 more
    • English
    In this book, the authors consider not only the design and operation of the loom itself, but also the preparation of yarns and packages, the design and structure of the fabrics produced, and the management aspects of weaving as an industrial process. A comprehensive reference book covering in depth the modern technology of woven fabric production. It will be of value of the practitioner and student alike. The information provided will enable the reader to judge how to produce a fabric suited to a particular purpose in the most economical way. The text is generously illustrated and there is a glossary of terms which is cross-referenced to the text and to an extensive list of cited literature. Originally published by Merrow 2nd edition 1982.

  • Polymer Melt Rheology
