The book specifically targets consumer protection. Foods are being processed to preserve quality and prevent spoilage caused by physical, chemi

The increasing world population, competition for arable land and rich fishing grounds, and environmental concerns mandate that we exploit in a sustainable way the earth's available plant and animal resources for human consumption. To that end, food chemists, technologists, and nutritionists engage in a vast number of tasks related to food availability, quality, safety, nutritional value, and sensory properties—as well as those involved in processing, storage, and distribution. To assist in these functions, it is essential they have easy access to a collection of information on the myriad compounds found in foods. This is particularly true because even compounds present in minute concentrations may exert significant desirable or negative effects on foods.Includes a foreword by Zdzislaw E. Sikorski, Gdansk University of Technology, Poland; Editor of the CRC Press Chemical & Functional Properties of Food Components Series. Dictionary of Food Compounds, Second Edition is presented in a user-friendly format in both hard copy and fully searchable downloadable resources.

Olive oil is the major edible vegetable oil of the Mediterranean countries and Portugal. It is also, perhaps, the oldest reported crop in history. The olive tree is ca­ pable of existing in a harsh climate on poor soils, and trees 500 years old still bear fruit. The oil itself is much prized for its flavor and aroma. The highest-quality oils are obtained, without solvent extraction, from fresh and healthy fruits. Although the subtle sensory characteristics of olive oil account for its popularity, despite a high market price, increasing interest has been given to its nutritional properties, which are believed to play a large role in the so-called'Mediterranean Diet.'In this book, we provide a wealth of detail about the analysis and properties of olives and their oil. After an introduction to olive oil and to technological aspects, we include a section on biochemistry because, of course, the unique properties of the oil are based on the biochemistry of the olive fruit. This applies not only to the main constituents-the various triacylglycerols-but also to minor sensory components that are derived largely from the lipoxygenase catabolic pathway. Following are chapters that deal with the analysis of olive oil from the standpoint of general methodology, and later chapters describe detailed techniques. The sophisticated analytical methods have to be evaluated by the use of math­ ematical procedures for characterization.

The flavour industry has become a vital element in the growth and success of food and beverage industries worldwide. The development of many new products is now directly related to the use of the appropriate flavouring which, among other benefits, has allowed the use of many novel raw materials. The phenomenal growth of specialised consumer products offering special tastes, nutritional benefits or'convenience'almost always directly involves the use of a bespoke flavouring. With recent growth in worldwide concern for environmental issues has come a corresponding concern for the use of'natural'ingredients in foods. The flavour industry has been closely involved, by offering many of its products as natural alternatives, although the vexed issue of what'natural'means has promoted discussion and debate in many quarters. The European Flavouring Directive has attempted to incorporate a definition. This is discussed further in chapter 1. The work of the flavourist remains akin to that of the perfumer, despite inroads made by sophisticated analytical technology. For example, use of linked gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instrumentation enables the skilled analyst to identify most components of a competitor's flavouring or the minor ingredients of a natural extract. Despite this, the industry remains a unique blend of art, science and technology in which the experience and knowledge of the flavourist is vital.

The need for a further edition of a book is gratifying for contributors and editor alike. When faced with the corresponding challenge to identify what has changed in one sector of a particular industry, however, initial enthusiasm frequently declines. Nowhere is this more evident than in this book on food flavourings, because the industry still remains the tantalising blend of art, science and technology that was alluded to in the first edition. Instrumentation and analytical skills can now identify flavour components down to nanogram and picogram concentrations and yet the skilled flavourist is often still able to defeat this scientific ability. Many parts of the food industry, and in particular the more traditional outlets such as baking and confectionery, use flavours and methods of application that have changed little in fifty years. At the other end of the spectrum, advanced synthetic chemistry methods and computer-controlled natural product processes can give the flavour industry a greater selection of higher quality materials than ever before. The industry itself has, in recent years, undergone many commercial changes, and in the U.K. some manufacturers'names known for a century or more have disappeared to become part of larger corporate entities. Flavours are for the first time controlled, albeit in a small way, by statute based on a European Directive.

Recent publications in food engineering concern mainly food process engi­ neering, which is related to chemical engineering, and deals primarily with unit operations and unit processes, as applied to the wide variety of food processing operations. Relatively less attention is paid to the design and operation of food processing equipment, which is necessary to carry out all of the food processes in the food plant. Significant technical advances on processing equipment have been made by the manufacturers, as evidenced by the efficient modem food pro­ cessing plants. There is a need to relate advances in process engineering to proc­ ess equipment, and vice versa. This book is an attempt to apply the established principles of transport phe­ nomena and unit operations to the design, selection, and operation of food pro­ cessing equipment. Since food processing equipment is still designed empiri­ cally, due to the complexity of the processes and the uncertainty of food properties, description of some typical industrial units is necessary to understand the operating characteristics. Approximate values and data are used for illustra­ tive purposes, since there is an understandable lack of published industrial data.

This book provides an up-to-date overview of the economic, chemical, physical, analytical and engineering aspects of the subject, gathering together information which would otherwise be scattered over a wide variety of sources.

The Karl Fischer titration is used in many different ways following its publication in 1935 and further applications are continually being explored. At the present time we are experiencing another phase of expansion, as shown by the development of new titration equipment and new reagents. KF equipment increasingly incorporates microprocessors which enable the course of a titration to be programmed thus sim­ plifying the titration. Coulometric titrators allow water determinations in the micro­ gram-range: the KF titration has become a micro-method. The new pyridine-free re­ agents make its application significantly more pleasant and open up further possibili­ ties on account of their accuracy. To make the approach to Karl Fischer titrations easier, we have summarized the present knowledge in this monograph and we have complemented it with our own studies and practical experience. As this book should remain'readable', we have tried to keep the fundamentals to a minimum. Historical developments are only mentioned if they seem to be necessary for understanding the KF reaction. The ap­ plications are described more fully. Specific details which may interest a particular reader can be found in the original publications cited. The referenced literature is in chronological order as the year of publication may also prove informative. Thus, [6902] for example denotes 69 for 1969 being the year of publication and 02 is a non-recurring progressive number. The referenced litera­ ture includes summaries which we hope will be of help to find the'right'publica­ tion easily.
