Abstract

Principles of soft condensed matter applied to food polymers, surfactants and colloids

Objective

Students will be able to: - Describe the fundamental physical principles ruling the self-assembly, aggregation, processing and structure-properties relationship in food systems constituted by polysaccharides (polymers), proteins (colloids) and lipids (surfactants). - Assess and recommend the best set of parameters controlling structure in foods - Integrate physical and chemical principles to optimize food properties to meet specific requirements of defined food products
