Starch-Based Materials: Principles and Applications explores the cutting-edge research and development of starches as biodegradable, renewable biomaterials addressing urgent environmental concerns associated with non-biodegradable polymers. This comprehensive volume delves into the structural characteristics of starches, recent advances in their physical, chemical, and enzymatic modifications, and emerging technologies that expand their use beyond traditional food applications. It highlights innovative approaches to enhance nutritional value and health benefits, including the design of gluten-free products and specialized foods, while also covering industrial uses such as hydrogels and controlled release systems. Despite extensive prior research on starch packaging and non-food uses, there is a significant gap in current literature regarding modern starch modifications and their multifunctional applications across food, pharmaceutical, medical, and biomaterial fields. This book addresses this gap by providing a timely, authoritative summary of recent scientific findings, aiming to stimulate innovation and sustainable development in starch utilization. It is an essential reference, particularly in courses related to food chemistry, food analysis, nutrition, packaging, pharmaceutical applications, and specialized medical fields such as controlled release technologies.Summarizes the most updated research findings on important starch-based materials in food science and engineeringStudies the principles of chemistry for high quality processing and utilization of starchProvides tangible applications of starches in the fields of food, pharmaceuticals, and biopolymers

Extrusion is the operation of forming and shaping a molten or dough-like material by forcing it through a restriction, or die. It is applied and used in many batch and continuous processes. However, extrusion processing technology relies more on continuous process operations which use screw extruders to handle many process functions such as the transport and compression of particulate components, melting of polymers, mixing of viscous media, heat processing of polymeric and biopolymeric materials, product texturization and shaping, defibering and chemical impregnation of fibrous materials, reactive extrusion, and fractionation of solid-liquid systems. Extrusion processing technology is highly complex, and in-depth descriptions and discussions are required in order to provide a complete understanding and analysis of this area: this book aims to provide readers with these analyses and discussions. Extrusion Processing Technology: Food and Non-Food Biomaterials provides an overview of extrusion processing technology and its established and emerging industrial applications. Potency of process intensification and sustainable processing is also discussed and illustrated. The book aims to span the gap between the principles of extrusion science and the practical knowledge of operational engineers and technicians. The authors bring their research and industrial experience in extrusion processing technology to provide a comprehensive, technical yet readable volume that will appeal to readers from both academic and practical backgrounds. This book is primarily aimed at scientists and engineers engaged in industry, research, and teaching activities related to the extrusion processing of foods (especially cereals, snacks, textured and fibrated proteins, functional ingredients, and instant powders), feeds (especially aquafeeds and petfoods), bioplastics and plastics, biosourced chemicals, paper pulp, and biofuels. It will also be of interest to students of food science, food engineering, and chemical engineering. Also available Formulation Engineering of FoodsEdited by J.E. Norton, P.J. Fryer and I.T.
