Food Science Norman Potter 5th Edition
Food science and technology, like many other science-based disciplines, has advanced rapidly since the fourth edition was published in 1986. Although many of the basic unit operations have changed little, new knowledge and concerns about biotechnology and foods, food safety, environmental issues, packaging technologies, government regulation, globalization offoods, nutrition, and others, as well as new processing technologies such as ohmic heating and supercritical fluid extraction, have emerged. Many of the changes and additions to the fifth edition of Food Science reflect these and other developments which increasingly influence all involved in food processing as well as government agencies around the world. However, true change can only be measured against the broad principles and conventional food production practices of proven value. Therefore, most basic principles and practices continue to be described at an appropriate introductory level in the fifth edition. Food Science Norman Potter 5th Edition
