Lipid Analysis in Oils and Fats / Edition 1

by R.J. Hamilton

Overview

This book focuses on the developments in the field of lipid analysis, providing an up-to-date review of the analytical techniques available to chemists and technologists to identify complex molecules. The requi site theoretical background will be provided for individual techniques , together with their strengths and weaknesses, and a guide to the eno rmous range of commercial applications. It will be an invaluable refer ence source to all sectors of the oils and fats industry where accurat e labeling of foods, food contamination and adulteration are issues of increasing interest and concern.
