This book describes the state-of-the-art technology and brings together aspects from physical chemistry, fluid mechanics, and chemical engineering. These aspects are the foundation needed for understanding emulsification at more than a rudimentary level. This is the first comprehensive treatment of emulsification including state-of-the art developments and integration of all three aspects available in English. The book's perspective is that of the unit emulsification process, using fundamental theory from different fields to discuss design and function of different emulsification techniques.

Marilyn Rayner graduated with a bachelor's degree in biological engineering, with a food engineering specialization from the University of Guelph, Canada, in 1999 and earned her PhD in food engineering from Lund University in 2005 on modeling droplet formation in membrane emulsification. Dr. Rayner was awarded the Food Engineer of the Year 2005 from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, United Kingdom, for her work on predicting the effects of pore geometry on droplet size in membrane emulsification processes. Since then, Dr. Rayner has worked in the area of multiphysics modeling, unit operation, interfacial phenomena, and particlestabilized emulsions, and is currently associate professor in food engineering at Lund University and the founder of two spin-off enterprises in the area of membrane design and particle-stabilized formulations. Petr Dejmek, a native Czech, graduated as a process engineer from the Technical University in Aachen, Germany, and earned his PhD in food engineering at Lund University, Sweden. After 10 years with Alfa Laval companies in Sweden and Denmark, Dr. Dejmek returned to Lund University to eventually hold a research chair as professor of dairy technology, full professor of food engineering, and department head. As a visiting professor, Dr. Dejmek worked at Tokyo University, ENSIA Massy, Japanese National Food Research Institute, University of Wisconsin, and University of California, Davis. Dr. Dejmek was one of the editors of the International Dairy Journal for 10 years. He is the author of more than 100 publications on varying topics on food technology and engineering and the founder of two spin-off companies.
