A book intended for food science researchers, technologists, students, and polymer chemists.;A fundamental understanding of polymers has evolved in recent years concurrent with advances in analytical instrumentation. The theories and methodologies developed for the galacturonan biopolymers (collectively called pectins) have seldom been discoursed comprehensively in the context of the new knowledge. This text explains the scientific and technical basis of many of the practices followed in processing and preparing foods fabricated with or containing pectin. The material is presented in a very readable fashion for those with limited technical training. Topics discussed include structural analysis, commercial extractions methods, pectin formulations and tropical fruit analysis, molecular mechanisms of gelatin, enzymology, and polymer confrontation techniques.
Bio-Based Polymers and Composites is the first book systematically
describing the green engineering, chemistry and manufacture of
biobased polymers and composites derived from plants.
With the development of societies fossil energy is no longer the only energy resource, and increasing attention had been paid to alternative energy. Biomass is considered to be one of the alternatives due to efficiency and low cost. This book presents biomass pyrolysis behavior for three main components: Cellulose, Hemicellulose and Lignin, and discusses the influence of mineral salts , zeolite catalysts and metal oxide on their pyrolysis.

Volume 2 of Formulation Science and Technology is a survey of the different types of formulations used in the chemical industry and offers numerous real-world examples of foams, gels, latexes etc. It offers in-depth explanations for research scientists, universities, and industry practitioners looking for a complete understanding of which type formulation works best for a certain application and why.
Open dating plays a vital role in the distribution of the food
products from the farm or place of manufacturing to the consumer's
home. One principle is that the shelf life is a function of the
distribution conditions and can be looked at as the percentage of
consumers a manufacturer is willing to displease. Thus, one purpose
of an open date is to give consumers enough time to purchase a food
product and store it at home for a reasonable period of time before
the product reaches the end of shelf-life in terms of some degree
of quality change that is still acceptable. If products are not stored or rotated properly in distribution, then older products or those of lesser quality and perhaps compromised safety because of abuse during distribution chain and causing loss of confidence in the food category. Presently, the lack of uniformity among manufacturers and across state borders has made the practice of open dating confusing and misleading for consumers, retailers and the government. This book addresses these issues, and provides scientific and legal background to both evaluate and influence federally-regulated open-dating legislation in this country
Properties of chemical compounds and their mixtures are needed in
almost every aspect of process and product design. When the use of
experimental data is not possible, one of the most widely used
options in the use of property estimation models.
The success of any concrete structure depends on the designer's sound knowledge of concrete and its behaviour under load, under temperature and humidity changes, and under exposure to the relevant environment and industrial conditions. This book gives students a thorough understanding of all aspects of concrete technology from first principles. It covers concrete ingredients, properties and behaviour in the finished structure with reference to national standards and recognised testing methods used in Britain, the European Union and the United States. Examples and problems are given throughout to emphasise the important aspects of each chapter. An excellent coursebook for all students of Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering and Building at degree or diploma level, Concrete Technology will also be a valuable reference book for practising engineers in the field.
Composites have many engineering advantages over traditional materials, including increased strength, lightness, chemical resistance, and more, making them ideal for use in high performance components in a range of applications from aerospace to construction, and medicine to consumer goods. However, the use of composites also drastically increases material and processing costs. Multi-functionality combines multiple properties - such as thermal stability or electrical conductivity - into a single material to make it suitable for use in applications for which normally two or more materials would be required. By embedding a material with lightweight circuitry, for example, you can eliminate support chassis, enclosures, brackets and insulation materials not only saving weight and volume, but eliminating design and production costs for every part no longer needed. Multi-functionality also allows for smart materials, including self-healing material, shape-memory polymers and piezoelectric materials. Bringing together contributions from experts in the field of multifunctionality, this book presents the state-of-the-art in this exciting and rapidly developing field. It enables engineers and materials scientists to achieve multi-functionality in their own products, using different types of polymer matrices and various nano- and micro-sized fillers and reinforcements, including but not limited to carbon nanotubes and graphene. The latest developments in a wide range of applications,
including automotive/aerospace, electronics, construction and
medicine are covered, and future trends are also discussed, making
this book an essential reference for any researcher or engineer
hoping to stay ahead of the curve in this high-potential area
