Methods of food additive analysis will be the main theme of this book. Some of the most advanced technology in food additive analysis such as high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), high throughput screening program, voltametric techniques, mass spectrometry (MS) and more will be presented. Each of the method will contain protocol to a specific food additive group, pros and cons of that method compared against others that can be a great reference to any scientist and food producers.
Advances on food technology have created hundreds of new food additive substances every year. The last part of this book will discuss about those compounds and their medical and nutritional value.
