Preface
This book includes various perspectives on applicability of imaging technologies and data-processing tools for food structure analysis. Recent studies from worldwide peers are presented to provide an in-depth understanding on raw material characterization, process control, structure–function and structure–texture relationships by utilizing imaging and data analysis tool boxes. The book covers wide range of food matrices and also introduces applications from innovative and emerging areas of food science with an insight into future trends. The information in this book is of interest to food scientists and engineers working in both academia and food industries. It can also be used as a textbook for food science and engineering students. There are eleven chap
