A comprehensive, single-point resource providing technical support for RVA users, edited By Graham B. Crosbie and Andrew S. Ross.

The Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) is an increasingly popular and versatile tool used in the cereal and food industries worldwide to measure viscosity. As a result, a comprehensive, single-point resource to provide technical support for RVA users is needed. The RVA Handbook is just the tool that RVA users’ need. This handbook will prove to be a valuable bench-top resource. The wide diversity of subject matter ranges from practical instruction on calibration techniques to provision of guidance on the use of the RVA for applications far removed from its original function.

Topics covered include: Principles of operation and experimental techniques, Interpretation of RVA curves, Grain and grain products, Specialty cereal and noncereal starches, Extruded products and degree of cook, Nonstarch applications–hydrocolloids, protein-rich foods and ingredients, cheese, Enzyme methods and Calibration and maintenance.
