Abstract
Small-angle and ultra-small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering techniques provide structural information on the nanometer to micron length scale. This chapter describes the fundamentals of small-angle scattering (SAS) techniques and the advantages and disadvantages over other structural characterization methods. Factors to consider in the design of SAS experiments are outlined with data collection; the chapter then proceeds to the analysis and interpretation of small-angle scattering data. Information on accessing SAS facilities is also provided. The bulk of the chapter is dedicated to recent examples in which SAS methods have been applied to gain new knowledge of the structure and design of encapsulated food ingredients.
