Chemical Analysis of Food: Techniques and Applications reviews the latest technologies and challenges in all stages of food analysis, from selecting the right approach and tips for performing the analytic procedures, to measuring and reporting the results. The book is structured in two parts: the first describes the role of the latest developments in analytical and bio-analytical techniques, and the second reviews innovative applications and issues in food analysis. The techniques discussed range from the non-invasive and non-destructive, such as infrared spectroscopy and ultrasound, to emerging areas such as nanotechnology, biosensors and electronic noses and tongues. Important tools for problem-solving in chemical and biological analysis are discussed in detail. This thoroughly updated second edition includes new chapters on ambient mass spectrometry, imaging techniques, omics approaches in food analysis, natural toxins analysis, food contact materials, nanomaterials and organic foods. All chapters are updated or rewritten to bring the content completely up to date. Reviews the attributes, benefits, limits and potential of all relevant analytic modalities, including spectroscopy, ultrasound, and nanotechnology applicationsProvides in-depth coverage of each technology, including near-infrared, mid-infrared, and Raman spectroscopy; low intensity ultrasound; microfluidic devices and biosensors; electronic noses and tongues; mass spectrometry; and molecular techniquesOutlines practical solutions to challenging problems in food analysis, including how to combine techniques for improved efficacyCovers all relevant applications of food analysis, such as traceability; authenticity and fraud; biologically-active food components; novel food and nutritional supplements; flavors and fragrances; and contaminants and allergensProvides researchers with a single source of current research and includes contributions from internationally renowned experts in food science and technology and nutrition INDICE: PART I: Chemical Analysis of Food 1.
