Summary: Fat Mimetics for Food Applications explores strategies for the development of fat mimetics for food applications, including meat, dairy, spreads and baked products, covering all the physical strategies and presenting the main characterization techniques for the study of fat mimetics behavior. The text further provides insight into the understanding of fat mimetics in food structure and how it affects food products. Fat Mimetics for Food Applications is organized into five sections. The first section provides a historical overview and thermodynamic perspective of the structure-properties relationship in fat mimetics. Section II is devoted to the main materials used for the development of fat mimetics, and the structures that result from different methodologies and approaches. Section III overviews the methodologies used for the characterization of the developed replacers. Section IV contains examples of what has been done in the use of fat mimetics in food. Section V focuses on a future perspective, along with real cases of projects within the industry and a commercial perspective of some examples. Fat Mimetics for Food Applications targets researchers, academics, and food industry professionals to boost their capability to integrate different science and technology as well as engineering and materials aspects of fat mimetics for food development.
