Academic Press Biopolymer Nanostructures for Food Encapsulation Purposes: Volume 1 in the Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry series

Product Description Biopolymer Nanostructures for Food Encapsulation Purposes, a volume in the Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry series, guides readers on how to fabricate and apply nanostructures from different proteins, carbohydrates and chemical sources for food encapsulation purposes. This book covers recent and applied research in all disciplines of bioactive and nutrient delivery. Chapters emphasize original results relating to experimental, theoretical, formulations and/or applications of nano-structured biopolymers. Review Instructs readers on how to fabricate nanostructures and apply them for food encapsulation purposes From the Back Cover Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry, vol. 1: Biopolymer Nanostructures for Food Encapsulation Purposes How to fabricate nanostructures and apply them for food encapsulation purposes. Edited by Seid Mahdi Jafari Associate Professor, Department of Food Materials and Process Design Engineering, University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Gorgan, Iran Biopolymer Nanostructures for Food Encapsulation Purposes , a volume in the Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry series, guides readers on how to fabricate nanostructures from different protein, carbohydrate, and chemical sources and apply them for food encapsulation purposes. One of the main technologies for preparing nanoencapsulated bioactive ingredients and nutraceuticals is application of biopolymer nanostructures from different protein, carbohydrate, and chemical sources. This book covers recent and applied research in all disciplines of bioactive and nutrient delivery. All chapters emphasize original results relating to experimental, theoretical, formulation, and/or applications of nano-structured biopolymers. Updated application of biopolymer nanostructures from different protein, carbohydrate, and chemical sources Discloses knowledge and potential of biopolymer nanostructures Brings the novel applications of biopolymer nanostructures together in developing bioactive delivery systems About the Editor Seid Mahdi Jafari received his PhD at the University of Queensland, Australia in the area of Food Process Engineering.
