Riassunto

Structure-Function Analysis of Edible Fats, Second Edition summarizes the latest approaches in the quantification of the physical structure of fats and its relationship to macroscopic functionality. The book takes a proven, general approach, presenting principles and techniques in a way that can be applied to any lipidic material. As the maturity of the field has increased since the first edition, there is an increased need for more sophisticated quantitative approaches to common problems encountered by industry. This book outlines modern methods used for this purpose by some of the leading authorities in the field today.

Edited by expert Alejandro Marangoni, and with contributions from leaders in field, the book features the latest developments, including chapters on Phase Behavior of Fat Mixtures and the Rheology and Mechanical Properties of Fats Methods Used in the Study of the Physical Properties of Fats (including a new section on microscopy).

Informazioni sull?autore

Alejandro Marangoni is a professor and Canada Research Chair in Food and Soft Materials Science at the University of Guelph. His work concentrates on the physical properties of foods, particularly fat crystallization and structure. He has published over 200 refereed research articles and six books. He is the recipient of many awards including a 1999 Premier’s Research Excellence Award, the first Young Scientist Award from the AOCS (2000), a Canada Research Chair (2001, renewed in 2006), two Distinguished Researcher Awards from the Ontario Innovation Trust (2002), a Career Award from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (2002), an E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship (2002)―given to the top six Canadian scientists from all disciplines―and the T.L. Mounts Award from AOCS in 2004. Dr. Marangoni is a past chair of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada’s Plant Biology and Food Science Grant Selection Committee, member of NSERC’s E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship selection committee, Editor-in-Chief of Food Research International (Elsevier), an Associate Editor of the JAOCS (Springer), and an editorial board member of Food and Function (RSC), Food Digestion (Springer) and CyTA―The Journal of Food (Taylor and Francis). Dr. Marangoni has co-founded three high-technology companies and is the co-recipient of the 2008 Guelph Partners of Innovation “Innovator of the Year” award for his discovery of a platform technology for the manufacture of structured oil-in-water emulsions. Dr. Marangoni has recently been appointed a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Food, Health, and Aging.
