Starch-based Materials: Science and Engineering explores new technologies and starch modifications to achieve new paradigms on the development of materials. It covers starches with enhanced nutritional and health benefits, discussing them in terms of novel applications for the design of gluten free products and recent development of nutrition, which have not been covered in previous literature on the subject. The book also discusses the uses of starch in the manufacture of hydrogels and as a key component in controlled release applications. Starch-based Materials: Science and Engineering promotes innovations for novel applications of starch on food, pharmaceutical, medical and biomaterial areas, and is a valuable resource for scientists working in food ingredients, food product research and development, cereal science, and human nutrition, and other areas. Provides current research findings on important starch-based materials in food science and engineeringAnalyzes each major starch-based material for its structure, physicochemical properties and preparation mechanisms, as well as its industrial applicationsProvides starch chemistry principles for high quality processing and utilization of starch INDICE: 1.
