Food processing is no longer as simple and straightforward as it was in the past and has now become more of a highly interdisciplinary science than an art, and although the basic principles of food chemistry remain the same, much additional research has been carried out in recent years that has extended and deepened our knowledge. In light of the fact that each of the processes involved in food production—including storage, preparation, and distribution—influences the different qualities of food in either a beneficial or harmful way, it is crucial to have a basic understanding of every safeguarding strategy and how it impacts different food systems. Thus, it is of utmost importance to acquire the requisite knowledge about the technology, methods, and the science of the mode of action. Because of the importance of this complex subject, Food Chemistry: Role of Additives, Preservatives, and Adulteration is designed to present basic information on the composition of foods and the chemical and physical changes that their characteristics undergo during processing, storage, and handling. Details concerning recent developments and insights into the future of food chemical risk analysis are also presented, along with topics such as food chemistry, the role of additives, preservatives and food adulteration, food safety objectives, risk assessment, and quality assurance and control. Moreover, good manufacturing practices, food processing systems, design and control, and rapid methods of analysis and detection are covered, as well as sensor technology, environmental control, and safety.
