For courses in Experimental Foods or Food Science.
Capturing the most recent research in food science and technology, this text focuses on the science underlying all aspects of food–including the principles that determine safe storage, handling, and preparation. Its clear presentation of scientific principles guides students through complex subject matter and motivates learning. Its logical progression moves readers easily through the study of careers to research basics, to food preparation, to key food components and finally to food safety. Margin definitions, photos, tables and Food for Thought boxes add interesting insights into today¡¯s food industry, while an accompanying lab manual further prepares students for their entry into the field.
