Rancidity in Foods

This new edition of a highly successful book retains the emphasis on the practical approach to rancidity in foods which was the hallmark of the previous editions. There has been substantial revision to bring existing chapters up-to-date with current techniques and the inclusion of additional chapters on spectrophotometric and chromatographic analysis of oxidation, legislative and labeling aspects, and HACCP in the avoidance of rancidity. There are also new chapters on rancidity in fish and in confectionery products.

`This is a very useful handbook on the causes and prevention of rancidity in foods. This third edition has been substantially enlarged and rewritten. All the authors who have contributed to the book are recognised experts in their fields and all have shared in the editors' objective of producing a practical handbook...'
