"This book takes a simple and practically focused approach to food rheology, providing clear, concise interpretation of rheological data which directly relates to actual perceived functionality in the food." (International Food Information Service, 30 August 2011) "Practical Food Rheology - An Interpretive Approach is a well-orchestrated tutorial on how ‘food-grade' rheological measuring techniques can help to understand the flow behavior of ingredients as well as canaddress the interaction of food material and its perception and tremendous health issues of an increasingly sedentary and aging society."
