Abstract

Foods are complex biopolymer matrixes. Typically, they are non crystaline or poorly crystaline and highly heterogeneous. In order to understand the behaviour of these matrixes, it is important to characterise their structure and dynamics. This project is concerned with the development of spectroscopic methods for the characterisation of structure and dynamics. It uses, principally, the methods of solid state NMR and vibrational spectroscopy but is also developing applications of electron spin resonance. Systems of interest are: storage proteins, plant cell walls and the dynamics of water and small molecules in heterogeneous materials.
