Food Proteins and Their Applications

by Srinivasan Damodaran

Overview

Reviews the physiochemical properties of the main food proteins and explores the interdependency between the structure-function relationship of specific protein classes and the processing technologies applied to given foods. The book offers solutions to current problems related to the complexity of food composition, preparation and storage, and includes such topics as foams, emulsions, gelation by macromolecules, hydrolysis, microparticles/fat replacers, protein-based edible films, and extraction procedures.

Editorial Reviews

Details the latest developments in food protein research. Section I describes fundamental physiochemical aspects of protein structure, denaturation, protein-stabilized foam and emulsion, gels, and protein- polysaccharide and protein-lipid interactions. Section II analyzes structure-function relationships of major food proteins, such as caseins and whey, soy, wheat, egg, and muscle proteins. Section III examines processing technology, with chapters on genetic engineering, edible films and coatings, and applications of immunochemistry for protein structure control. Useful for graduate students and food scientists in academia and industry. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
