A “one-stop-shopping” approach to everything you need to know about the scientific basis and application of key components of food and nutrition.
Chemists will use the information to identify applications in translational science, to identify new methods of analysis.
Food scientists will use this information to expand their knowledge base on the structure and analysis of food related compounds, to determine what strategies and treatments to adopt if the compounds are toxic, to speculate on novel food substances.
Nutritionists will use this book to gain a greater holistic understanding of individual components
Also relevant for Analytical scientists, Toxicologists, Practicing heath care workers, Teachers and lecturers
