This new edition provides a simple, yet comprehensive, treatment of food chemistry suited to undergraduate courses. This fully referenced text contains hundreds of examples and cases studies illustrating the chemical changes observed in foods due to processing. It presents six new chapters on the chemistry of food components and six new chapters introducing concepts and principles of food chemistry. It also contains a new chapter introducing food phase and physical transformations. The author provides web support for teachers including teaching resources, useful experiments, illustrative demonstrations, and study questions.

Providing a concise but rigorous introduction to the core areas of food science specified by the Institute of Food Technologists, Introduction to Food Chemistry covers food chemistry, food analysis and methods for quality assurance, nutrition, diet and health, food microbiology, food material science, biochemical changes in fresh foods, food enzymology, and food processing. As a multi-level text with material of varying sophistication, the book focuses on principles rather than commodities and balances facts with explanations. It emphasizes improvement of learning and teaching quality, measurable learning outcomes, and core competencies.

Suitable for planning, performing, and interpreting food protein analyses, as it relates to the effect of food processing on protein investigation results, this title describes basic research principles, practices, and anticipated outcomes in various illustrated protein assays.
