Food Chemistry and Analysis

Food Chemistry, Function and Analysis provides a suite of reference books focusing on food chemistry, the functions of food in relation to health and the analytical methods and approaches used by scientists in the area. Providing comprehensive coverage of important topics such as the biochemistry of food, physical properties and structure, efficacy and mechanisms of bioactives in the body including biomarkers, nutrient physiology/metabolism and interactions and the role of nutrition and diet in disease. The series is aimed at academic and industrial researchers and graduate students in food science and chemistry as well as for physicists, biochemists, nutritionists and others who work at the interface of the chemistry, physics and biology of food. Food analysis is a very important branch of analytical chemistry, able to provide information about chemical composition, processing, quality control (QC) and contamination of foodstuffs, ensuring compliance with food and trade laws.
