{"product_id":"hydrocolloid-applications-nussinovitch-9781461379331","title":"Hydrocolloid Applications: Gum Technology in the Food and Other Industries","description":"Water-soluble gums are beneficial in many fields, including food, agricul- ture, adhesives, biotechnology, ceramics, cosmetics, explosives, paper, tex- tiles and texturization, among many others. It is almost impossible to spend a day without directly or indirectly enjoying their qualities. This book on hydrocolloid applications is divided into two major portions. The first is devoted to a few important gelling and non-gelling gums, their sources, the raw materials from which they are manufactured, their structures, functions and properties, followed by their food applica- tions. The second part of the book details gums' industrial, non-food uses in a unique way: it assumes the reader's unfamiliarity with the many fields in which gums can be useful. It, therefore, provides a broad introduction to the development, technology and many aspects of gums' major non-food uses, as well as giving detailed explanations of where, when and how gums are incorporated into products in these industries. The text is also accom- panied by a detailed index, designed to help the reader locate information easily. I wish to thank the publishers for giving me the opportunity to write this book. Their patience is very much appreciated. I wish to thank my editor Camille Vainstein for working shoulder-to-shoulder with me when time was getting short and Dr Zippora Gershon for supporting me with references and good advice over the years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nussinovitch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1461379334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781461379331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.78d","brand":"Nussinovitch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896703803647,"sku":"9781461379331","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b18ca45f-8ada-438c-aecd-04439d61f72f.jpg?v=1721372107","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hydrocolloid-applications-nussinovitch-9781461379331","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
