Addressing the Gap between Fundamental Knowledge and Industrial Application

Industrialists developing new food and pharmaceutical products face the challenge of innovation in an increasingly competitive market that must consider ingredient cost, product added-value, expectations of a healthy lifestyle, improved sensory impact, controlled delivery of active compounds, and last, but not least, product stability.

Bridging the Divide with Modern Biopolymer Science

A gap has emerged between recent advances in fundamental knowledge and its direct application to product situations with a growing need for scientific input. Modern Biopolymer Science matches science to application by acknowledging the differing viewpoints between those working with low-solids and those working with high-solids, and then sharing the expertise of those two camps under a unified framework of materials science.

Real-World Utilisation of Fundamental Science

The book includes a wide range of related aspects of low and high-solids systems for foods and pharmaceuticals, and covers more than bio-polymer science in foods by including biopolymer interactions with bioactive compounds, issues of importance in drug delivery and medicinal chemistry.
