Preface This book was designed to serve as a text for courses in food chemistry in food science programs following the Institute of Food Technologists minimum standards. The original idea in the preparation of this book was to present basic information on the composition of foods and the chemical and physical characteristics they undergo during processing, storage, and handling. The basic principles of food chemistry remain the same, but much additional research carried out in recent years has extended and deepened our knowledge. This required inclusion of new material in all chapters. The last chapter in the second edition, Food Additives, has been replaced by the chapter Additives and Contaminants, and an additional chapter, Regulatory Control of Food Composition, Quality, and Safety, has been included. This last chapter is an attempt to give students some understanding of the scientific basis of the formulation of laws and regulations on food and on the increasing trend toward international harmonization of these laws. A number of important food safety issues have arisen recently, and these have emphasized the need for comprehensive and effective legal controls. In the area of water as a food component, the issue of the glass transition has received much attention. This demonstrates the important role of water in food properties. Lipids have received much attention lately mainly because of publicity related to nutritional problems. Sutructured lipids, low caloric fats, and biotechnology have received a good deal of attention. Our understanding of the functionality of proteins expands with increasing knowledge about their composition and structure. Carbohydrates serve many functions in foods, and the noncaloric dietary fiber has assumed an important role. Color, flavor, and texture are important attributes of food quality, and in these areas, especially those of flavor and texture, great advances have been made in recent years. Enzymes are playing an ever increasing part in the production and transformation of foods. Modern methods of biotechnology have produced a gamut of enzymes with new and improved properties. In the literature, information is found using different systems of units: metric, SI, and the English system. Quotations from the literature are presented in their original form. It would be difficult to change all these units in the book to one system. To assist the reader in converting these units, an appendix is provided with conversion factors for all units found in the text. It is hoped that this new edition will continue to fulfill the need for a concise and relevant text for the teaching of food chemistry. I express gratitude to those who have provided comments and suggestions for improvement, and especially to my wife, Leny, who has provided a great deal of support and encouragement during the preparation of the third edition
