Encyclopedic in scope, this new 560-page handbook provides the food scientist and food analyst with a very detailed and up-to-date survey of analytical methods for all major food categories and hundreds of specific foods and ingredients within those categories. Both time-tested standard methods and new advanced methods are examined. Applications range from basic safety to numerous emerging applications such as those related to agrochemical residues, degradation in processing and geographical origin. The contents are carefully organized for easy access, supplemented with extensive quantitative data in convenient tables, and supported with thousands of references from the international food science literature. This is a valuable new reference for all those involved in the analysis, evaluation, formulation and regulation of food products.

Review
"An invaluable reference guide to those working in the food industry." - Food Trade Review
From the Back Cover
Food quality has traditionally been assessed in terms of wholesomeness, acceptability and adulteration. Yet, this traditional methodology for food analysis has increasingly proved to be inadequate. During the recent past however, new analytical approaches used to assess the quality of foods have been emerging - work on chemotaxonomy has gained momentum, new molecules in the plant kingdom have been discovered, and there have been many advances in molecular biology and genetics.
As well as comparing and evaluating indices used to assess quality of foods, Handbook of Indices of Food Quality and Authenticity surveys the emerging techniques and methods that are currently opening up to the analyst. The book discusses the potential of these novel approaches which are sure to help in solving the new problems the food scientist is likely to face in the future.
As a detailed study of current methodologies and indicesof food quality, this book is an essential reference work for industry and an indispensable guide for the research worker, food scientist and food analyst. It will serve as a valuable tool for those analysts facing the challenge of applying known methods to unorthodox formulations and developing new or improved methods for quality evaluation.
