Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a powerful tool for food research, providing detailed insights into the structure and properties of food substances at the nanoscale. In Fundamentals and Application of Atomic Force Microscopy for Food Research, three experts in the field of nanotechnology and food science have compiled a comprehensive guide to help researchers obtain reliable AFM data and understand the current application progress of AFM in different food substances.

The book begins with an introduction to AFM for food research, covering the basic principles, equipment, and techniques used in this field. It then delves into the applications of AFM for various types of food substances, including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and polymers. Each section provides detailed examples and case studies to illustrate the practical uses of AFM in food analysis and quality control.

One of the key strengths of this book is its accessibility. The authors have done an excellent job of reducing the difficulty of AFM application and shortening the learning time for new hands. They have included step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and photographs to make the content easy to understand and follow. Additionally, the book is well-organized, with a clear chapter structure and an extensive bibliography that provides further resources for those interested in exploring AFM in food research.

Until now, there has been a lack of a systematic description of the application of AFM for food research. This book fills that gap by providing a comprehensive resource that covers the theoretical background, experimental methods, and practical applications of AFM in food science. It is an invaluable tool for scientists, researchers, and students in the field of food science and engineering who need to evaluate their developed foods and food contact surfaces at the nanoscale.

In conclusion, Fundamentals and Application of Atomic Force Microscopy for Food Research is a must-read for anyone interested in advancing their knowledge of AFM in food research. With its comprehensive coverage, accessible writing style, and expert guidance, this book is an invaluable resource for scientists, researchers, and students in the field. It will help them obtain reliable AFM data, understand the current application progress of AFM in different food substances, and develop new insights into the structure and properties of food materials at the nanoscale.
