Food Structure Engineering and Design for Improved Nutrition, Health and Well-being 1st Edition

Food Structure Engineering and Design for Improved Nutrition, Health and Well-being (1st Edition) by Miguel Cerqueira and Lorenzo Pastrana Castro is a forward-looking guide that reframes how food structure can be engineered to deliver measurable health benefits. This authoritative volume speaks directly to food scientists, product developers, nutritionists, and R&D teams seeking evidence-based strategies to create healthier, better-performing foods.

Explore the science behind texture, microstructure, and ingredient interactions and how these influence digestion, nutrient bioavailability, sensory appeal, and consumer acceptance. Detailed chapters cover advanced characterization methods, formulation principles, processing techniques, and case studies that translate laboratory insights into practical product solutions. Emphasis on design-for-health makes this book especially relevant for functional food development, reformulation for reduced sugar/fat/salt, and the creation of fortified or plant-based alternatives.

Readers will gain actionable tools: frameworks for linking structure to function, modeling approaches, and guidelines to optimize nutritional outcomes without compromising taste or shelf life. Internationally minded and research-driven, the text is suitable for academic courses, industrial innovation pipelines, and policy-oriented projects focused on public health and sustainable food systems.

Whether you’re advancing a career in food engineering, leading product innovation, or teaching the next generation of food technologists, this book equips you with the knowledge to design foods that improve nutrition, health, and well-being across global markets.
