Offers students with practical knowledge of the fundamentals of designing, executing, and reporting the results of a research project. This work includes fresh exercises in the areas of physical properties, lipids, proteins, and gelatin. It includes a brief introduction to each laboratory exercise and a listing of materials needed.
A laboratory course in food chemistry is required for food science and dietetics majors, as well as some nutrition majors. A popular book in its first edition, The Food Chemistry Laboratory, Second Edition continues to provide students with practical knowledge of the fundamentals of designing, executing, and reporting the results of a research project. Presenting experiments that can be completed without requiring extensive student laboratory facilities, it includes new exercises in the areas of physical properties, lipids, proteins, and gelatin. Also new in this edition are a brief introduction to each laboratory exercise and a listing of materials needed, approximate time needed for completion, and possible complications and/or pitfalls.
"?well written and full of goodies that extend its use and value not only to students and practicing food technologists but also to chemists. ?a valuable resource to anyone working in food science." - in Inform ABOUT THE FIRST EDITION:"?a valuable addition to a sparse field with few published books. It offers a useful text for both new and established lab courses in food chemistry. For new instructors, it offers a complete course manual. For veteran instructors, the experimental descriptions and questions leave adequate room for extensions or integration into an established course. It is also good for courses with food science majors as well as nutrition/dietetic majors." - C.S. Shoemaker in J. Food Biochemistry
