Download or read book Advances in Magnetic Resonance in Food Science written by P. S. Belton and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 1999 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 26 presentations from the September 1998 conference demonstrate the protean nature of magnetic resonance techniques in dealing with problems arising in many areas of food science. The five sections cover development of the technique; water, ions and small molecules in food; functional constituents of food; signal treatment and analysis in magnetic resonance; and applications of magnetic resonance to food processing and engineering. Among the topics are internal structure characterization of soft cheeses by MRI, 1H relaxation of hydrated carbohydrate systems, quality evaluation of halibut during ice storage, and magnetic resonance temperature mapping.
