Essential Guide to Food Additives - Softcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Food Additives are part of everyday news headlines and influential to our food choices. They are the cause of a great deal of discussion and suspicion. This book aims to inform this debate. Many books have been written on the legislation governing the use of food additives, but this book is unique in that it provides individual monographs for each additive with a description, sources, applications and properties, legal restrictions and any additional technical information. Other topics include: - A basic introduction to the technology of food additives - Discussion covering the general issues surrounding the use of food additives, including the need for food additives - Coverage of the legal approval process for additives and the labelling of the finished product - Safety of food additives in Europe and elsewhere in the world The book will prove an invaluable reference source for food and drink manufacturers, particularly those responsible for research and development, for undergraduates and postgraduates of university courses in food science and technology, and indeed for all those who are interested in what they eat.
