This book, which is part of the collection Sciences & techniques agroalimentaires and was written by 42 specialists from various sectors, reviews the most recent research undertaken in the field. Extract from the table of contents: Water structure and properties (physical states; interactions between water and other food components; properties of water in foodstuffs; water activity, phase and state diagrams; water in live cells).
