Foams are ubiquitous in our daily lives. Their presence is highly desirable in certain foods, drinks and cosmetics, and they are essential in oil recovery and mineral extraction. In some industrial processes (such as the manufacture of glass, paper and wine) foams are an unwelcome by-product. Why do they appear? What controls the rate at which they disappear? Do they flow in the same way as ordinary liquids? All of these questions and more are addressed here, incorporating significant recent contributions to the field of foams. This book is the first to provide a thorough description of all aspects of the physico-chemical properties of foams. It sets out what is known about their structure, their stability, and their rheology. Engineers, researchers and students will find descriptions of all the key concepts, illustrated by numerous applications, as well as experiments and exercises for the reader. A solutions manual for lecturers is available via the publisher's web site.

Kompetenz und Exzellenz in der Lebensmittelchemie erfordern ein fundiertes Wissen über Aufbau, Zusammensetzung, Herstellung und Eigenschaften unserer Lebensmittel. Die moderne Lebensmittelchemie ist dabei weitaus mehr als nur die Lehre von den erwünschten bzw. unerwünschten Lebensmittelkomponenten. Vielmehr schließt sie auch das Wissen über die Bildung und Biochemie dieser Stoffe, ihre Reaktionen untereinander, die technologischen Eigenschaften und ihren Stoffwechsel mit ein. Ein Höchstmaß an Aufmerksamkeit fordern überdies sicherheitsrelevante Aspekte. Das weithin bekannte und etablierte Lehrbuch liegt nunmehr in seiner 10. Auflage vor und wurde als Jubiläumsausgabe umfassend überarbeitet, aktualisiert und erweitert. Der Erfolg des Standardwerks basiert auf seinem systematischen Gesamtkonzept mit klarer Gliederung, gepaart mit einer Sammlung relevanter Fakten und Informationen, Formeln, Abbildungen und Tabellen. Die Leserinnen und Leser erhalten eine prägnante Übersicht über nahezu alle hochaktuellen Lebensmittelthemen aus den Bereichen Qualität, Sicherheit, Sicherung, Authentizität, Verfälschung, Reformulation, Technologie sowie Physiologie und Biochemie der Ernährung.  Digitale Übungsfragen (SN Flashcards) zur Lernkontrolle und Prüfungsvorbereitung Umfangreiches Glossar zum Nachschlagen von Definitionen Prägnante Merksätze mit Begriffsbestimmungen sowie Hervorhebung des Wichtigsten Zahlreiche Beispiele zur Verbindung von Theorie und Praxis Dieses Buch richtet sich in erster Linie an Studierende der Lebensmittelchemie, der Lebensmitteltechnologie, der Ernährungswissenschaften und der Chemie. Aber auch Studierende anderer Life Sciences (wie Veterinärmedizin und Medizin) können von diesem Werk profitieren. Praktizierende in den Bereichen Lebensmittelsicherheit, Qualitätsmanagement, Forschung und Entwicklung vieler lebensmittelchemisch arbeitender Einrichtungen der Wirtschaft, Behörden und Hochschulen finden hiermit ein handliches Nachschlagewerk.

Some believe that simply having faith is an entitlement

to blessing and prosperity. Others believe that faith in

oneself is all that is needed in life. Still others contend that

faith is a cosmic force that breeds superhuman, superspiritual,

invincible people. It is none of these. Faith is not

believing what you know is not true, nor is it believing

something for which there is no evidence. The Bible is

a book all about faith, and provides the evidence that

makes faith so vital, so important, and so astounding.

Aquinas on Transubstantiation treats one of the most frequently misunderstood and misrepresented teachings of Thomas Aquinas - Eucharistic transubstantiation. The study interprets Aquinas's teaching as an exercise of "holy teaching" (sacra doctrina) that intends to show theologically and back up philosophically the simple yet profound thesis that "transubstantiation" affirms nothing but the truth of Christ's words at the Last Supper - "This is my body," "This is my blood." Yet in order to achieve a contemporary ressourcement of this simple yet profound truth, it is necessary to probe the depths of Thomas Aquinas's philosophical interpretation of it. For Thomas Aquinas, in regarding the truth of Eucharistic conversion, it is faith that preserves the human intellect from missing or dismissing the mystery announced in Christ's words. Faith, however, is not intellectually blind, a faith that, as is often erroneously held, is commanded by arbitrary divine dictates to which the will submits in blind obedience. Rather, Aquinas takes faith is sustained, but not constituted, by an intellectual contemplation of the proposed mystery of faith, by faith seeking understanding. Thomas Aquinas unfolds this exercise of understanding guided by faith in the medium of a metaphysical contemplation that affords a profound intellectual appreciation of this central mystery of faith - precisely as mystery. Thomas's metaphysical contemplation of Eucharistic conversion gestures toward the blinding light of superintelligibility, experienced as the unique darkness that surrounds this sublime mystery of faith. A ressourcement in Thomas Aquinas's doctrine of transubstantiation also affords a renewed appreciation of the Church's affirmation of transubstantiation as the most apt term for the interpretation of the mystery of Eucharistic conversion and a greater precision of what is centrally at stake in this mystery in the ongoing ecumenical conversation of this most central Christian teaching. A doctrinally sound, ecumenically informed, and philosophically reflected contemporary Catholic theology cannot afford to ignore or dismiss Aquinas's surpassing account of Eucharistic conversion.
