Fundamentals and Application of Atomic Force Microscopy for Food Research

Fundamentals and Application of Atomic Force Microscopy for Food Research explains how to get reliable AFM data and current application progress of AFM in different food substances. Sections focus on an Introduction to AFM for food research and Applications of AFM for different types of food substances. Edited by 3 experts in the field of nanotechnology and food science, this book reduces the difficulty of AFM application and shortens the learning time for new hands. Until now, no such book has systematically described the application of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) for food research.
Many scientists in the field of food science and engineering need to evaluate their developed foods and food contact surfaces at nanoscale. However, there is a steep learning curve for new hands, hence the need for this comprehensive resource. Describes the application of AFM for food research Covers applications of AFM for different types of food substances Addresses future uses and perspectives of AFM for the development of food nanotechnology
