Index

The book is intended to contribute the improvement understanding of the rheological characterization and performance in numerous application fields from the food to the non-food industries. Then, people related to the high starchy materials, especially flour or starch could be interested in the book. Those researches who work on the viscoelastic properties of the materials, from food to non-food applications (biomedicine, pharmaceutical, automotive, among others).
