5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for food science & food industry folks
Verified PurchaseThis book serve as a technical manual for many different forms of food analysis. It is not a beginner/introduction book. This book has many applications in the food industry for small companies with some capital looking to start their own food quality labs. As a food science major I found that this book is not overly technical to a point where I couldn't understand the content. It contains many basic protocols for food analysis (protein content, fat extraction, caloric content, etc.) From the student perspective, my professor lectured from incomplete power point slides and this book provided me with information that allowed me to fill in the blanks. This is a book I'm adding to my food science collection as a reference book. I also earned an A in my Food Analysis class so I would recommend this book to anyone who intends on working in the lab in the food industry or for the government.
