Analytical Techniques for Foods and Agricultural Products
edited by G. Linden
Analytical Techniques for Foods and Agricultural Products is a single comprehensive, and
utilitarian guide to all the main analytical technique used in the food industry. The physical
and chemical principles underlying each technique are comprehensively reviewed, and the
advantages and limitations of each method are clearly defined. In this manner, the reader
may choose the method best suited to the particular needs of a project. The exceptional
scope of this volume encompasses physical, chemical, engineering, biochemical, toxicological,
and sensory analysis techniques.
