Handbook Of Food Analysis Physical Characterization And Nutrient Analysis

This two-volume handbook supplies food chemists with essential information on the physical and chemical properties of nutrients, descriptions of analytical techniques, and an assessment of their procedural reliability. The new edition includes two new chapters that spotlight the characterization of water activity and the analysis of inorganic nutrients, and provides authoritative rundowns of analytical techniques for the sensory evaluation of food, amino acids and fatty acids, neutral lipids and phospholipids, and more. The leading reference work on the analysis of food, this edition covers new topics and techniques and reflects the very latest data and methodological advances in all chapters.

Updated to reflect changes in the industry during the last ten years, The Handbook of Food Analysis, Third Edition covers the new analysis systems, optimization of existing techniques, and automation and miniaturization methods. Under the editorial guidance of food science pioneer Leo M.L. Nollet and new editor Fidel Toldra, the chapters take an in

This is a two-volume set which presents a compilation of analytical methods essential to every food chemist. The work delineates the physical and chemical properties of nutrients and other food components, as well as proving descriptions of preparation, detection, separation, derivatization, and clean-up techniques, assessing the relative advantage, accuracy and reliability of each procedure. The volumes explore all methods of food analysis.

Presents contemporary methods of measuring optical properties, moisture, ash content, and other physical characteristics of food and evaluates techniques used to trace nutrient analytes ranging from peptides, proteins, and enzymes to aroma compounds to carbohydrates and starch.

The Handbook of Food Analysis, Second Edition presents an exhaustive compilation of analytical methods essential to every food chemist. This outstanding three-volume reference delineates the physical and chemical properties of nutrients and other food components and provides step-by-step descriptions of preparation, detection, separation, derivatization, and clean-up techniques; it also assesses the relative advantage, accurate, and reliability of each procedure. Volume 1 evaluates current methods of measuring optical properties and other physical characteristics of food and of tracing moisture and ash content and nutrient analyties ranging from peptides, proteins, and enzymes to aroma compounds to carbohydrates and starch. Volume 2 compiles modern methods for the detection of residues in foods from pesticides, herbicides, antibacterials, food packaging, and other sources. It also provides tools used in the analysis of various substances added to foods as enhancements or quality safeguards. Volume 3 explores usage and results with chemometrics, differential scanning calorimetry, chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques, DNA- and protein-bsed analyses, and cutting-edge methods utilizing biosensors and nanoscale analytical systems. Attuned to contemporary food industry concerns, the third volume also features topical coverage of the analysis of meat quality and the quantification of genetically modified organisms in food.

The first and second editions of Food Analysis were widely adopted for teaching the subject of Food Analysis and were found useful in the food industry. The third edition has been revised and updated for the same intended use, and is being published with an accompanying laboratory manual. Food Analysis, Third Edition, has a general information section that includes governmental regulations related to food analysis, sampling, and data handling as background chapters. The major sections of the book contain chapters on compositional analysis and on chemical properties and characteristics of foods. A new chapter is included on agricultural biotechnology (GMO) methods of analysis. Large sections on spectroscopy, chromatography, and physical properties are included. All topics covered contain information on the basic principles, procedures, advantages, limitation, and applications. This book is ideal for undergraduate courses in food analysis and also is an invaluable reference to professions in the food industry.

Dairy foods account for a large portion of the Western diet, but due to the potential diversity of their sources, this food group often poses a challenge for food scientists and their research efforts. Bringing together the foremost minds in dairy research, Handbook of Dairy Foods Analysis compiles the top dairy analysis techniques and methodologies from around the world into one, well-organized volume. Co-Edited by Fidel Toldra - Recipient of the 2010 Distinguished Research Award from the American Meat Science Association Exceptionally comprehensive both in its detailing of methods and the range of products covered, this handbook includes tools for analyzing chemical and biochemical compounds and also bioactive peptides, prebiotics, and probiotics. It describes noninvasive chemical and physical sensors and starter cultures used in quality control. Covers the Gamut of Dairy Analysis Techniques The book discusses current methods for the detection of microorganisms, allergens, and other adulterations, including those of environmental origin or introduced during processing. Other methodologies used to evaluate color, texture, and flavor are also discussed. Written by an International Panel of Distinguished Contributors Under the editorial guidance of renowned authorities, Leo M.L. Nollet and Fidel Toldrá, this handbook is one of the few references that is completely devoted to dairy food analysis – a extremely valuable reference for those in the dairy research, processing, and manufacturing industries.
