"Offers up-to-the-minute coverage of the chemical properties of major and minor food constituents, dairy products, and food tissues of plant and animal origin in a logically organized, step-by-step presentation ranging from simple to more complex systems. Third Edition furnishes completely new chapters on proteins, dispersions, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, animal tissue, toxicants, and pigments."

This advanced textbook for teaching and continuing studies provides an in-depth coverage of modern food chemistry. Food constituents, their chemical structures, functional properties and their interactions are given broad coverage as they form the basis for understanding food production, processing, storage, handling, analysis, and the underlying chemical and physical processes. Special emphasis is also giben to food additives, food contaminants and tho understanding the important processing parameters in food production. Logically organized (according to food constituents and commodities) and extensively illustrated with more than 450 tables and 340 figures this completely revised and updated edition provides students and researchers in food science or agricultural chemistry with an outstanding textbook. In addition it will serve as reference text for advanced students in food technology and a valuable on-the-job reference for chemists, engineers, biochemists, nutritionists, and analytical chemists in food industry and in research as well as in food control and other service labs.

This latest edition of the most internationally respected reference in food chemistry for more than 30 years, Fennema’s Food Chemistry, 5th Edition once again meets and surpasses the standards of quality and comprehensive information set by its predecessors. All chapters reflect recent scientific advances and, where appropriate, have expanded and evolved their focus to provide readers with the current state-of-the-science of chemistry for the food industry. This edition introduces new editors and contributors who are recognized experts in their fields. The fifth edition presents a completely rewritten chapter on Water and Ice, written in an easy-to-understand manner suitable for professionals as well as undergraduates. In addition, ten former chapters have been completely revised and updated, two of which receive extensive attention in the new edition including Carbohydrates (Chapter 3), which has been expanded to include a section on Maillard reaction; and Dispersed Systems: Basic considerations (Chapter 7), which includes thermodynamic incompatibility/phase separation concepts. Retaining the straightforward organization and accessibility of the original, this edition begins with an examination of major food components such as water, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and enzymes. The second section looks at minor food components including vitamins and minerals, colorants, flavors, and additives. The final section considers food systems by reviewing basic considerations as well as specific information on the characteristics of milk, the postmortem physiology of edible muscle, and postharvest physiology of plant tissues.

Providing a thorough introduction to the core areas of food science specified by the Institute of Food Technologists, Introduction to Food Chemistry focuses on principles rather than commodities and balances facts with explanations. The text covers the major areas of food science, including food chemistry, food analysis and methods for quality assu

FOOD CHEMISTRY A manual designed for Food Chemistry Laboratory courses that meet Institute of Food Technologists undergraduate education standards for degrees in Food Science In the newly revised second edition of Food Chemistry: A Laboratory Manual, two professors with a combined 50 years of experience teaching food chemistry and dairy chemistry laboratory courses deliver an in-depth exploration of the fundamental chemical principles that govern the relationships between the composition of foods and food ingredients and their functional, nutritional, and sensory properties. Readers will discover practical laboratory exercises, methods, and techniques that are commonly employed in food chemistry research and food product development. Every chapter offers introductory summaries of key methodological concepts and interpretations of the results obtained from food experiments. The book provides a supplementary online Instructor’s Guide useful for adopting professors that includes a Solutions Manual and Preparation Manual for laboratory sessions. The latest edition presents additional experiments, updated background material and references, expanded end-of-chapter problem sets, expanded use of chemical structures, and: A thorough emphasis on practical food chemistry problems encountered in food processing, storage, transportation, and preparation Comprehensive explorations of complex interactions between food components beyond simply measuring concentrations Additional experiments, references, and chemical structures Numerous laboratory exercises sufficient for a one-semester course Perfect for students of food science and technology, Food Chemistry: A Laboratory Manual will also earn a place in the libraries of food chemists, food product developers, analytical chemists, lab technicians, food safety and processing professionals, and food engineers.

Wiley's landmark food chemistry textbook that provides an all-in-one reference book, revised and updated The revised second edition of The Chemistry of Food provides a comprehensive overview of important compounds constituting of food and raw materials for food production. The authors highlight food’s structural features, chemical reactions, organoleptic properties, nutritional, and toxicological importance. The updated second edition reflects the thousands of new scientific papers concerning food chemistry and related disciplines that have been published since 2012. Recent discoveries deal with existing as well as new food constituents, their origin, reactivity, degradation, reactions with other compounds, organoleptic, biological, and other important properties. The second edition extends and supplements the current knowledge and presents new facts about chemistry, legislation, nutrition, and food safety. The main chapters of the book explore the chemical structure of substances and subchapters examine the properties or uses. This important resource: • Offers in a single volume an updated text dealing with food chemistry • Contains complete and fully up-to-date information on food chemistry, from structural features to applications • Features several visual aids including reaction schemes, diagrams and tables, and nearly 2,000 chemical structures • Written by internationally recognized authors on food chemistry Written for upper-level students, lecturers, researchers and the food industry, the revised second edition of The Chemistry of Food is a quick reference for almost anything food-related as pertains to its chemical properties and applications.
