 The Food Hydrocolloids Trust announces that the 15th Gums and Stabilisers for the Food Industry Conference, with the theme Biofunctionality
and Technofunctionality of Hydrocolloids, will be held 22-25 June 2009 in Wrexham, UK. For the latest information please visit the website:

Description
Food Hydrocolloids only publishes original and novel research that is of high scientific quality.
Research areas include basic and applied aspects of the characteristics, properties, functionality and use of macromolecules in food
systems. Hydrocolloids in this context include polysaccharides, modified polysaccharides and proteins acting alone, or in mixture with
other food components, as thickening agents, gelling agents, film formers or surface-active agents. Included within the scope of the
journal are studies of real and model food colloids - dispersions, emulsions and foams - and the associated physicochemical stability
phenomena - creaming, sedimentation, flocculation and coalescence.
In particular,Food Hydrocolloids covers: the full scope
of hydrocolloid behaviour, including isolation procedures, chemical and physicochemical characterization, through to end use and analysis
in finished food products; structural characterization of established food hydrocolloids and new ones ultimately seeking food approval;
gelling mechanisms, syneresis and polymer synergism in the gelation process; rheological investigations where these can be correlated
with hydrocolloids functionality, colloid stability or organoleptic properties; theoretical, computational or simulation approaches to
the study of colloidal stability, provided that they have a clear relationship to food systems; surface properties of absorbed films,
and their relationship to foaming and emulsifying behaviour; phase behaviour of low-molecular-weight surfactants or soluble polymers,
and their relationship to food colloid stability; droplet and bubble growth, bubble nucleation, thin-film drainage and rupture processes;
fat and water crystallization and the influence of hydrocolloids on these phenomena, with respect to stability and texture; direct applications
of hydrocolloids in finished food products in all branches of the food industry, including their interactions with other food components;and
toxicological, physiological and metabolic studies of hydrocolloids.
