The Handbook of Hydrocolloids is a must have book that has been used as the substantive reference on these food ingredients, helping the food industry scientists since its first edition was published and exceptionally well received. Now in its third and thoroughly updated and expanded edition, the book reviews the structure, function, properties and applications of a broad range of hydrocolloids used in the Food and related industries. The 3rd edition updates existing chapters on developments and theories on the structure and functional characteristics of individual hydrocolloids and provides additional chapters on new techniques for the chemical and physicochemical characterization of hydrocolloids and applications technologies for encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds. Edited by two leading international authorities in the field, the third edition of The Handbook of Hydrocolloids continues to be relevant to the Food Industry researchers, food manufactors, graduate and postgraduate students, particularly MSc Food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic sciences and PhD.
