7. DSF, a tool for describing colloidal systems
As foods are physico-chemical systems with a physical organization (resulting from their chemical constitution), composition tables are insufficient to describe culinary changes. The Disperse Systems Formalism (DSF) was introduced as a descriptive tool, applicable to all scales and dispersed systems .
7.1 Objects of formalism
The DSF formalism takes two aspects of constituent objects into account: their dimensionality and their physical state (phase). These two aspects are represented in formulas
