Not just the nature of food components are described, but also how they behave in storage, processing and cooking and accompanying changes in a food's nutritional value.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book features a 'Special Topics' section at the end of each chapter for specialist readers and advanced students, comprehensive listings of up-to-date review articles and recommended books for further reading, an exhaustive index and the structural formulae of over 500 food components. Frequent reference is also made to wider food and health issues, e.g. lactose intolerance, polyunsaturated fatty acids, wheat and gluten evolution, salt and hypertension, flavonoids in tea and fruit, and the increasing replacement of artificial with natural food colours.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFood: The Chemistry of its Components will be of particular interest to students and teachers of food science, nutrition and applied chemistry in universities, colleges and schools.
