An Introduction to the Physical Chemistry of Food
2014 || Hardcover || John N. Coupland || Springer
Familiar combinations of ingredients and processing make the structures that give food its properties.

Why different recipes work as they do is largely governed by the rules of physical chemistry.
This textbook introduces the physical chemistry essential to unde...
