Publisher's Synopsis
This handbook is a concise overview of the main spectroscopic methods used in food analysis laboratories, written by eminent scientists actively involved in food analysis. It deals with rapid analytical methods for the food industry. specially it details new spectroscopic methods (infrared, NMR, uv/visible) which are now becoming more widely adopted for food analysis and quality control. The book seeks to demonstrate the potential and relative merits of each technique by referring to many applications from the literature. The laboratories at which the authors work encompass academic, industrial and government research sites. The book is aimed at working food scientists, at teachers and lectures in food science programs, at chemistry students who are going into the food industry, at quality control (QC) analysts and process engineers in the food industry.
