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.

This book provides information on the techniques needed toanalyze foods in laboratory experiments. All topics covered includeinformation on the basic principles, procedures, advantages, limitations, and applications. This book is ideal for undergraduatecourses in food analysis and is also an invaluable reference toprofessionals in the food industry. General information is provided onregulations, standards, labeling, sampling and data handling asbackground for chapters on specific methods to determine the chemicalcomposition and characteristics of foods. Large, expanded sections onspectroscopy and chromatography are also included. Other methods andinstrumentation such as thermal analysis, selective electrodes, enzymes, and immunoassays are covered from the perspective of theiruse in the chemical analysis of foods. A helpful Instructor's Manualis available to adopting professors.

This second edition laboratory manual was written to accompany Food Analysis, Fourth Edition, ISBN 978-1-4419-1477-4, by the same author. The 21 laboratory exercises in the manual cover 20 of the 32 chapters in the textbook. Many of the laboratory exercises have multiple sections to cover several methods of analysis for a particular food component of characteristic. Most of the laboratory exercises include the following: introduction, reading assignment, objective, principle of method, chemicals, reagents, precautions and waste disposal, supplies, equipment, procedure, data and calculations, questions, and references. This laboratory manual is ideal for the laboratory portion of undergraduate courses in food analysis.
