Image Analysis of Food Microstructure

Image Analysis of Food Microstructure offers a condensed guide to the most common procedures and techniques by which quantitative microstructural information about food is obtained from images. The book familiarizes the food scientist with the image processing and measurement tools used to characterize a variety of microstructures in foods. Using different types of images of food microstructure to quantify various aspects of structure, this book explains how to interpret images to produce data, plot the results in different graphs, and identify trends. This book summarizes the basic procedures that can be useful in various aspects of food research, from nutraceuticals to food processing.
