New methods have been added to the 10th Edition. The 10th Edition provides scientists working with grain-based ingredients the most up-to-date techniques and the highest level of analytical results. The 10th Edition also removes obsolete methods that are no longer in common use or for which equipment is no longer available.A concise and clearly written Objective has been added to every method in the 10th Edition, helping food scientists easily identify methods most appropriate for their specific applications.The 10th Edition Supplier Index is now greatly expanded, giving food scientists complete and rapid access to information about companies that can provide the instruments, chemicals, and equipment they need for each method.

Abstract: A rigorous renovation and upgrade of the 1962 (7th) edition of this reference work provides numerous specific analytical methods, information, and guidelines to assist cereal chemists in the characterization and quality control of cereal products. These methods include: fat acidity; analysis of various acids (inorganic, fatty, organic); admixtures of flours; total ash in various products; baking quality tests; carbon dioxide determinations; analyses of color, pigments, drugs, egg solids; various enzymes activities; experimental milking methods; the determination of crude fat, fiber, gluten and various inorganic constituents; task panel tests; assessments of various contaminants (microorganisms, mycotoxins, pesticide and herbicide residues); sampling characteristics (sample preparations, sampling techniques, solids, solutions, specific volume, statistical principles); assessments of product quality (physical dough tests; other physical tests; physiological tests; special properties of fats, oils, and shortenings; staleness); and analytical methods for soybean protein, starch, sugars, vitamins, and water hydration quality. Each method delineates its scope, apparatus and reagent needs, procedure, and relevant literature references. Illustrations, equations, and tables are included where necessary. (wz).

Food companies, regardless of their size and scope, understand that it is impossible to establish a single division devoted to "quality", as quality is the responsibility and purpose of every company employee. Applying this theory demands the cooperation of each employee and an understanding of the methodology necessary to establish, implement, and

This book provides information on the techniques needed to analyze foods in laboratory experiments. All topics covered include information on the basic principles, procedures, advantages, limitations, and applications. This book is ideal for undergraduate courses in food analysis and is also an invaluable reference to professionals in the food industry. General information is provided on regulations, standards, labeling, sampling and data handling as background for chapters on specific methods to determine the chemical composition and characteristics of foods. Large, expanded sections on spectroscopy and chromatography also are included. Other methods and instrumentation such as thermal analysis, ion-selective electrodes, enzymes, and immunoassays are covered from the perspective of their use in the analysis of foods. A website with related teaching materials is accessible to instructors who adopt the textbook.
