Biopolymer engineering in food processing [

"The unit operations commonly applied in food processing may affect the physicochemical and functional behavior of biopolymers and their interactions with other food compounds. Presenting an overview of their physical, physicochemical, and thermodynamic properties, this book explores the ways i...
