Protein functionality is big business in the food industry, both
academic and commercial. This reflects the fascination of protein
chemistry and the commercial value of proteins in giving texture
and substance to foods. My first encounter with the subject came
about through an interest in assessing the extent of thermal damage
in spray-dried proteins. A change in functional properties seemed a
useful guide to the thermal damage. I found the literature replete
with methods (and theory) and so did what everybody else seemed to
do - I devised my own methods which were slight variations on the
general theme. However, being an analyst at heart I thought there
must be a systematic approach to the various tests available. This
book is an attempt to assess the practice of protein functionality
testing, keeping theory to a minimum, followed by a suggested
'standard' method or protocol to follow. Each chapter is devoted to
a single functional property and the reader will see that attempts
to 'standardise' them have had varied success, perhaps reflecting
the complexity of the mechanisms at work. As mentioned above theory
has been kept to a minimum but hopefully it supports the practical
methodology described. I hope that the book stimulates debate on
the subject; it is certainly not the last word! G. H. Contributors
