Description
This standard reference covers the sources, manufacture, specifications, chemistry, physical properties, and current and potential uses
of gums. It provides an outline of gums and their uses as well as an understanding of why gums behave in different ways, giving the reader
an ability to select the best gum for a particular purpose. Chapters have been constructed to provide balanced information and chapter
authors have been selected because of outstanding competence in their specialized areas. Industrial Gums is a useful reference for students
and industrial researchers and engineers in chemical, industrial, and applied engineering, biochemistry, food technology, materials chemistry,
pharmaceuticals, and biopolymers.
