Crystallization Processes in Fats and Lipid Systems

Containing new and emerging techniques, processes, and applications in the behavior, crystallization, and polymorphic transformations of fats and oils, Crystallization Processes in Fats and Lipid Systems presents cutting-edge research and current information on advanced analytical tools, computer modeling, molecular structures, mixing behavior, and interactions with seeding materials and surfactants. Exploring microprobe techniques, vibrational spectroscopy, infrared adsorption, and nuclear magnetic resonance, Crystallization Processes in Fats and Lipid Systems identifies the morphology and texture of fats and lipids...kinetic phase properties of phase transformations...interfacial crystallization in emulsions and microemulsions...crystallization in confined volumes...and more.
