Food Colloids: Creating Structure, Delivering Functionality
Edited by Eric Dickinson and Taco Nicolai
Food Hydrocolloids, Volume 23, Issue 4, Pages 1073-1242 (June 2009)
This issue of Food Hydrocolloids is dedicated to papers presented at the conference “Food Colloids 2008: Creating Structure, Delivering Functionality” held in Le Mans (France) on 6–9 April 2008. The subject area of this conference series is the physical chemistry of the complex systems formed by the macromolecules and dispersed particles that stabilize food emulsions, dispersions, gels and foams. Our objective is to understand better how the interactions between the various components lead to multi-phase structures on different length scales, and therefore how the ingredient compositions and processing conditions affect product stability and rheology. This fundamental knowledge is necessary for systematic control of the quality attributes of existing food systems, and for creating novel formulations capable of delivering enhanced functionality related to taste, texture, nutrition and perceived health benefit.

Bioprocesses in Food Industries
Edited by by Ashok Pandey, L. Venkateshwar Rao, Christian Larroche and Carlos R. Soccol
Food Research International, Volume 42, Issue 4, Pages 417-528 (May 2009)
Bioprocesses in food industries are mainly based on the exploitation of biocatalysts which come from an enzyme source or whole microbial cells. Majority of bioprocesses are the bioconversions that have the target to ameliorate the quality of food in terms of its taste, preservation, digestibility, shelf life, etc. This special issue of Food Research International is based on the peer-reviewed papers presented in the International Congress on Bioprocesses in Food Industries (ICBF-2008) held at Hyderabad, India during November 6–8, 2008.
