Image Analysis of Food Microstructure offers a condensed guide to the most common procedures and techniques by which quantitative microstructural information about food is obtained from images. The book familiarizes the food scientist with the image processing and measurement tools used to characterize a variety of microstructures in foods. Using different types of images of food microstructure to quantify various aspects of structure, this book explains how to interpret images to produce data, plot the results in different graphs, and identify trends. This book summarizes the basic procedures that can be useful in various aspects of food research, from nutraceuticals to food processing.

The author integrates discussions of fractal geometry, surface modeling techniques, and applications to real world problems to provide a comprehensive, accessible overview of the field.

Stereology is the science that relates three-dimensional structure to the two-dimensional images that can be measured. Finally, most stereology is taught as manual procedures using counting and grids, but this text also covers the use of modern desktop computers for image analysis and processing to obtain and interpret the stereological data.

The use of computer-based image analysis systems for all kinds of images, but especially for microscope images, has become increasingly widespread in recent years, as computer power has increased and costs have dropped.
