Drawing together literature from a variety of fields, Food Texture and Viscosity includes a brief history of this
area and its basic principles. It reviews how texture and viscosity are measured, including the physical
interactions between the human body and food, objective methods of texture measurements,
the latest advances in texture-measuring instruments, various types of liquid flow, and more.
This revised edition contains approximately 30% new material, including two new chapters on physics
and texture and the correlation between physical measurements and sensory assessments. It now includes
two-color illustrations and includes a current list of equipment suppliers.
Of interest to food scientists, researchers, sensory specialists, food processors, and industrial food laboratory workers;
also advanced undergraduate and graduate students and faculty.
