Instrumentation
and Applications
edited by Magdi M. Mossoba
This valuable reference outlines the basic principles, advanced instrumentation,
applications, and future potential of a wide range of spectral techniques in food analysis.
Introduces new applications of GC-MS, LC-MS, MALDI TOF-MS, GC-FTIR, SFC-FTIR, ATR, and Raman
spectroscopy!
Covering the identification and quantitation of food constituents, additives, and contaminants,
Spectral Methods in Food Analysis:
- describes the elucidation of molecular structure for pure isolated
components and components of complex mixtures
- includes established and new techniques such as MRI
- categorizes spectroscopic issues created by food complexity
- reviews the applications of EPR, including postirradiation dosimetry
- details noninvasive and nondestructive measurement techniques
- highlights the utility of vibrational spectroscopy
- and more!
Containing over 850 references, tables, equations, drawings, and photographs,
Spectral Methods in Food Analysis is suitable for food scientists and technologists;
food, analytical, and brewing chemists; biochemists; toxicologists and microbiologists;
quality assurance and control, composition, nutrition, materials testing, biochemical,
and food safety engineers; spectroscopists and chromatographic analysts; and graduate
students in these disciplines.
