Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Starch nanomaterials can be classified as nanocrystals, nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanomicelles and nanovesicles which are

produced by both ""top-down"" and ""bottom-up"" approaches. Starch nanomaterials feature advanced structures with different physicochemical properties than those found in native starches. In the food industry, starch nanomaterials can be used to reduce spoilage and oxidation in food products or as shell wall materials for encapsulating hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds, as well as to improve physicochemical properties in foods and food packaging.

Starch Nanomaterials and Food Applications presents an exhaustive analysis of the most recent advances in the production of starch nanomaterials and their use in food applications. This text brings together recent advances in the production and food applications of starch nanomaterials. All of the main starches will be covered, including nanocrystals, nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanovesicles,nanomicelles. The food applications of starch nanomaterials are covered in full, including adsorptive and encapsulating materials, emulsifiers and texturizing

materials and functional food and packaging ingredients. A further section focuses on the human and environmental impacts of starch nanomaterials.
