The complete 4-volume reference set 'Analysis and Control Methods for Food and Agricultural Products', edited by J.-L. Multon, offers researchers in the food and pharmaceutical industries a complete source of technical information for answering important questions on when and how to conduct an analysis of a specific product, how to interpret the resulting data how to define the risks associated with the introduction of a new product. Each volume includes a biobliograghy for further reading. The first volume 'Microbiological Control for Foods and Agricultural Products', edited by Bourgeois and...

This is the second volume in the 4-volume set Analysis and Control Methods in the Food Industy, edited by J-L. Multon. The book describes all the main analytical techniques used in the food industry. Physical and chemical principles underlying the techniques are reviewed, and the limitations of the techniques and their fields of application are defined. The scope is unusually wide, encompassing physical, chemical, engineering, biochemical, toxicologial, and sensory analysis techniques. It presents a wide variety of analytical methods, including those based on spetroscopy,...

In this fourth and last volume of the series the presentation of methods and techniques for the analysis of foods, nutrients, antinutritional factors and contaminants in foods, is concisely described and referenced. This book will be a convenient source of information on the chemical analysis of food components for the manufacture, marketing and labelling of food products. It will help facilitate a better understanding for marketing goods globally. Food manufacturers, scientists, and technicians now have a valuable reference on the analytical procedures for foods used in Europe.
