This book describes the state-of-the-art technology and brings together aspects from physical chemistry, fluid mechanics, and chemical engineering. These aspects are the foundation needed for understanding emulsification at more than a rudimentary level. This is the first comprehensive treatment of emulsification including state-of-the art developments and integration of all three aspects available in English. The book's perspective is that of the unit emulsification process, using fundamental theory from different fields to discuss design and function of different emulsification techniques.
Emulsions are found in a wide variety of food products, pharmaceuticals, paints, and cosmetics, thus emulsification is a truly multidisciplinary phenomenon. Therefore understanding of the process must evolve from the combination of (at least) three different scientific specializations. Engineering Aspects of Food Emulsification and Homogenization describes the state-of-the-art technology and brings together aspects from physical chemistry, fluid mechanics, and chemical engineering. The book explores the unit operations used in emulsification and homogenization processes, using fundamental theory from different fields to discuss design and function of different emulsification techniques.This book summarizes the present understanding of the involved physical-chemical processes as well as specific information about the limits and possibilities for the different types of emulsifying equipment. It covers colloidal chemistry and engineering aspects of emulsification and discusses high-energy and low-energy emulsification methods. The chapters highlight low-energy emulsification processes such as membrane emulsification that are now industrially feasible. Dramatically more energy-efficient processes are being developed, and this book clarifies their present limitations, such us scale-up and achievable droplet sizes.The present literature on emulsification is, to a large degree, influenced by the division between physical chemistry, fluid dynamics, and chemical engineering. Written by experts drawn from academia and industry, this book brings those areas together to provide a comprehensive resource that gives a deeper understanding of emulsification and homogenization in food product development.
About the Author: Marilyn Rayner graduated with a bachelor's degree in biological engineering, with a food engineering specialization from the University of Guelph, Canada, in 1999 and earned her PhD in food engineering from Lund University in 2005 on modeling droplet formation in membrane emulsification. Dr. Rayner was awarded the Food Engineer of the Year 2005 from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, United Kingdom, for her work on predicting the effects of pore geometry on droplet size in membrane emulsification processes. Since then, Dr. Rayner has worked in the area of multiphysics modeling, unit operation, interfacial phenomena, and particlestabilized emulsions, and is currently associate professor in food engineering at Lund University and the founder of two spin-off enterprises in the area of membrane design and particle-stabilized formulations.Petr Dejmek, a native Czech, graduated as a process engineer from the Technical University in Aachen, Germany, and earned his PhD in food engineering at Lund University, Sweden. After 10 years with Alfa Laval companies in Sweden and Denmark, Dr. Dejmek returned to Lund University to eventually hold a research chair as professor of dairy technology, full professor of food engineering, and department head. As a visiting professor, Dr. Dejmek worked at Tokyo University, ENSIA Massy, Japanese National Food Research Institute, University of Wisconsin, and University of California, Davis. Dr. Dejmek was one of the editors of the International Dairy Journal for 10 years. He is the author of more than 100 publications on varying topics on food technology and engineering and the founder of two spin-off companies.

Additional Delivery Information (and some really important bits):
UK Delivery
Orders for delivery in the UK are normally despatched by Royal Mail, using the RM 48 Tracked Service with most orders delivered to you within a few days of placing your order with us. For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.
The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.
First Item @ £3.75 (sometimes a shipping supplement may be added for particularly heavy books or specific postcodes*)
2 Items & over @ £5.00 in total
Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
Overseas Delivery
Shipments to EU countries:
First Item @ £15.00 (sometimes a shipping supplement will be added for particularly heavy books)
2 Items & over @ £30.00 in total
A really, really important Brexit bit: From 1st January 2021 shipments to EU addresses may incur additional costs which could be requested by Fed Ex at the time of delivery. These costs may vary from country to country and are not within our control and will be in addition to the costs paid to us for your delivery.
