Sections focus on an Introduction to AFM for food research and Applications of AFM for different types of food substances. Edited by 3 experts in the field of nanotechnology and food science, this book reduces the difficulty of AFM application and shortens the learning time for new hands. Until now, no such book has systematically described the application of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) for food research.
Many scientists in the field of food science and engineering need to evaluate their developed foods and food contact surfaces at nanoscale. However, there is a steep learning curve for new hands, hence the need for this comprehensive resource.
- Describes the application of AFM for food research
- Covers applications of AFM for different types of food substances
- Addresses future uses and perspectives of AFM for the development of food nanotechnology
Food scientists in the field of food science and engineering. Graduate student and young scientists who want to know what AFM can do and how AFM can support their food research
