Book Description

The Food Chemistry Laboratory
illustrates chemical and physical properties and behavior of food constituents and additives. It is filled with guides and experiments, and its unique design allows you to structure individualized laboratories. Directions for independent research in food chemistry are also included.

UNDERSTAND PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES THROUGH LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS

Unlike most food chemistry manuals that deal with food analysis, The Food Chemistry Laboratory focuses on the physical and chemical properties of foods and ingredients. Twelve planned laboratory sessions cover a wide range of experiments that teach basic principles of food chemistry. Choose the number and order of sessions and experiments to be performed-this flexible format allows you to create your own laboratory sessions.

Laboratory sessions investigate topics such as sensory and objective evaluations of foods, physical properties of foods, dispersion of matter, lipids, amino acids, proteins, Maillard Browning, gelatin, carbohydrates, and much more.

COMPLETE WITH VALUABLE GUIDELINES AND EQUIPMENT GUIDE

A detailed equipment guide describes the uses and operation instructions for 21 instruments commonly used to evaluate food properties. Instruction on sensory evaluation of foods is also provided. The equipment guide covers the Brookfield viscometer, penetrometer, water activating system, texture analyzer, hydrometer, and pH meter, just to name a few.

And there's more! The Food Chemistry Laboratory contains information on accessing food chemistry literature, research proposal preparation, guides for preparing oral and written technical reports, and an evaluation score sheet. Guidelines for preparing laboratory notebooks are also included and a handy appendix allows rapid access to directions for setting up a difference testings experiment.

This is a must-have manual for students of food science, nutrition, and dietetics-anyone who needs to know sensory and objective methods, equipment procedures, and how to conduct independent research in food chemistry.


Editorial Reviews

Review

…well written and full of goodies that extend its use and value not only to students and practicing food technologists but also to chemists. …a valuable resource to anyone working in food science.

- in Inform

ABOUT THE FIRST EDITION:

…a valuable addition to a sparse field with few published books. It offers a useful text for both new and established lab courses in food chemistry. For new instructors, it offers a complete course manual. For veteran instructors, the experimental descriptions and questions leave adequate room for extensions or integration into an established course. It is also good for courses with food science majors as well as nutrition/dietetic majors.

- C.S. Shoemaker in J. Food Biochemistry --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, October 15, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The book was in brand new shape, other than for the "used" sticker on it I can't even tell it's been used and I got it at a good price compared to the bookstores. Delivery time was good too, it came right when I thought it would and I didn't have to sit around and wait for it.
