A knowledge of protein interaction is indispensable to successful research in biochemistry. However, the scope of relevant topics is astoundingly broad, ranging from molecular to colloidal chemistry. It is often difficult to find sufficient up-to-date information in any particular subarea. This book concentrates on two fascinating subjects in the field: * stabilization of micelles in solution * coagulation processes involved in cheese formation. 19 contributions by leading laboratories worldwide describe the most recent developments in detail. Written from both theoretical and applied points of view, the publication is a stimulating source of information, above all, for protein researchers in food chemistry. Special feature: in-depth presentation of a novel model of the casein micelle in milk and the role of water in protein interactions.
