1.1 INTRODUCTION
Food products are often structurally complex. This structure, or micro-
structure, determines the foods fl avour (as a result of tastant or aroma
release), its texture and mouthfeel, and the eating pleasure derived from
its consumption, in addition to the effi ciency of uptake during diges-
tion, the bioavailability of active compounds, and the effect it has on
appetite and satiety. With the health issues of the modern age, including
the prevalence of obesity, food research is often heavily focused on fat
reduction, or methods of reducing the uptake of fat or slowing diges-
tion, whilst maintaining sensory appeal and palatability.
Thus, a combination of understanding of material chemistry and
material science is needed, together with an understanding of how
processing affects food structure, the science behind food consumption,
from oral processing through to digestion, and the impact that food
formulation engineering can have on liking, sensory perception, diges-
tion, targeted delivery or appetite. This book aims to provide the reader
with detailed reviews of the literature in these areas.
The book is separated into three main sections: 1. Designing Struc-
tured Foods, 2. Structure–Human Interaction and 3. Food Structure and
the Consumer. In the fi rst part of the book we will consider how basic
materials can be used to formulate complex food systems, with specifi c
structures, desirable sensory attributes and health benefi ts. In the second
part we will consider structure–human interaction, and how foods can
be designed to get the greatest positive impact (in terms of oral process-
ing and/or digestion) when producing healthier, more convenient, and/
or more environmentally friendly products. In the third part we will
consider psychology, and the impact that food can have both on liking
and acceptability, and appetite and satiety.

1.2 THE BOOK
1.2.1 Designing s tructured f oods
In the fi rst part of this book we will consider the design of foods, and
the use of complex structures. We will consider how basic materials
(i.e. proteins, polysaccharides and hydrocolloids) can be used to struc-
ture foods. We will also consider the use of emulsions (the most
common use of fats in foods). This section contains four chapters:
Chapter 2 (Harris and Foegeding) considers the use of proteins in
foods, by building food structures that provide desirable sensory (e.g.
fl avour, taste or texture) and health (e.g. nutrition and bioavailability)
attributes. Proteins function by providing amino acids for protein syn-
thesis and energy, providing bioactive peptides, and are also essential
for the formation and stabilisation of food structures. During food
processing, changes in the protein structure can occur, including
denaturation or aggregation, racemisation, or covalent modifi cation of
amino acids (e.g. Maillard browning). Proteins are important in many
colloidal structures, including sols, emulsions, foams and gels, and can
contribute to the stability of these systems by adsorbing at the inter-
face. Proteins are essential for health, but also have a positive impact
on satiety, as a result of both sensory cues (e.g. thickness/viscosity or
savoury taste) and the macronutrient itself. The goal should be to
combine food science and nutrition, to produce “nutritious and deli-
cious” protein-rich foods that are highly nutritious and functional, but
also highly palatable and satiating, that consumers would choose
to eat.
Chapter 3 (Foster) discusses the use of plant cell wall material
(PCWM), a material that is not usually utilised, which may have sig-
nifi cant and novel use in food products. PCWM could be used as
an alternative to refi ned polymers, which are often accompanied by
tight specifi cations. It can be split into “inner” fi bres (that are able to
modify texture) and “outer” fi bres (which are a source of high insolu-
ble dietary fi bre). Understanding of the processing steps (i.e. enzy-
matic, thermal, mechanical and chemical), and their effect on the
polymers within the PCWM can allow for controlled and reproducible
food production. This, in turn, requires an understanding of PCWM
at a material and molecular level, in order to redesign or optimise
processing. The rheological properties of PCWM are similar to hydro-
colloid gel networks, where particle–particle interactions and particle
size distributions both determine rheological structure. Furthermore,
these materials could be used as surface-active materials for emulsion
and foam stabilisation (i.e. as “natural” surfactants). Particularly,
