The first edition of this book rapidly established itself as a prime source of highly practical technical information on this important class of food ingredients. This edition recognizes that the technical demands on ingredients continue to grow rapidly as food manufacturers strive for greater safety, reliability and profitability. Technical information is provided on the application of thickening and gelling agents, and extended coverage is provided on applications modifications, demanded by customers, such as improved freeze-thaw and chill-stablility.

Stabilisers, thickeners and gelling agents are extracted from a variety of natural raw materials and incorporated into foods to give the structure, flow, stability and eating qualities desired by consumers. These additives include traditional materials such as starch, a thickener obtained from many land plants; gelatine, an animal by-product giving characteristic melt-in-the-mouth gels; and cellulose, the most abundant structuring polymer in land plants. Seed gums and other materials derived from sea plants extend the range of polymers. Recently-approved additives include the microbial...
