Author(s) : NELSON K. A., LABUZA T. P.

Summary

This special issue of the Journal of Food Engineering contains 30 papers of the fifth International Symposium, held in Peniscola, Valencia, Spain, November 8-14, 1992. Contents: the role of conformation in the thermodynamics and rheology of aqueous solutions of carbohydrate polymers; theories of liquid-glass transition: liquid fragility and the glass transition in water and aqueous solutions; NMR imaging; mechanical properties of frozen model solutions: modelling of vacuum osmotic dehydration of food; drying modelling and water diffusivity in carrots and potatoes; combined methods for the preservation of foods in Latin America; bacterial ice-nucleation activity and its application to freeze-concentration of fresh foods for modification of their properties; antifreeze proteins; the glass transition in the freezing process; control of water during storage.
