Although a gel can be formed by either a protein or a polysaccharide, the resultant gels have different characteristics: ? Polysaccharide gels are characterised by their fine texture and transparency which is achieved at a low polymer concentration. They can be formed by heating and cooling, pH adjustment or specific ion addition . ? Protein gels are characterised by a higher polymer concentration (5-10%) and are formed almost exclusively by heat denaturation. Before reaching a final decision, the technologist must take a number of factors into consideration. The purpose of this book is to help the technologist in his choice by providing fundamental practical information, in one book, on the properties of gels (and factors which influence them) for both types of biopolymer. To help the reader, each chapter is (wherever possible) organised in the same way so that, for example, information on structure will always be available in section 2. The examples in the Applications section of each chapter are not meant to be exhaustive, but to illustrate the various ways in which the particular polymer can be used to form a gelled product. 410 0$aElsevier Applied Food Science Series 606 $aScience 606 $aScience 606 $aScience, general 615 0$aScience. 615 14$aScience. 615 24$aScience, general. 676 $a500 702 $aHarris$b Peter 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789203403321 996 $aFood gels$9883213 997 $aUNINA
