Volume 2 of this two-volume set offers food scientists and food chemists unique coverage of techniques/applications and methodologies widely used to study biopolymers in general, and food biopolymers in particular. A synthesis of information previously found only in numerous texts and research articles, this volume offers detailed, coverage of both scattering (light, x-ray, neutron) and spectroscopic techniques (NMR, ESR, FT-IR vibrations), circular dichoism, along with numerous applications. Genetic engineering and novel biothechnology methods are presented together with quantitative...

Assuming only background knowledge of algebra and elementary calculus, and access to a modern personal computer, Nonlinear Computer Modeling of Chemical and Biochemical Data presents the fundamental basis and procedures of data modeling by computer using nonlinear regression analysis. Bypassing the need for intermediary analytical stages, this method allows for rapid analysis of highly complex processes, thereby enabling reliable information to be extracted from raw experimental data.
By far the greater part of the book is devoted to selected applications of computer modeling to...
