Description
Book SynopsisNow in a thoroughly-updated and expanded second edition, Wiley Encyclopedia of Food Science and Technology covers fundamental concepts and practical requirements in food science, as well as cutting-edge technological and industry information. The encyclopedia features A-to-Z coverage of all aspects of food science, including: the properties, analysis, and processing of foods; genetic engineering of new food products; and nutrition. In addition, nontechnical information is included, such as descriptions of selected scientific institutions, and research and development in government agencies.

From reviews of the first edition:
...fills a definite need in the food science and technology literature.... I have little doubt that this encyclopedia will become one of the classic works in this ever-growing subject.
