About this title

Review:

"The present work must now be considered the definitive encyclopedia in the field...There are several features that makes this encyclopedia easy to use. There is generous use of see references in the body of the encyclopedia...Another helpful feature is that in the long, segmented articles, bibliographies appear after the appropriate segment, instead of at the end...The level of detail is exceptional."
--JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL & FOOD INFORMATION
"With almost 5000 pages oftext it is hard not to find what you want in this absolutely brilliant encyclopedia...None can compare with the wealth of information provided here...The encyclopedia is likely to be a valuable addition to any library."
--BNF NUTRITION BULLETIN

--TECNICA MOLITORIA
"An inspection of volume one...confirms that this encyclopaedia offers what it promises making it a very important source of information in its field...When asked for their opinion, food science students of our university were very impressed by the broad coverage, the clarity and readability of the texts and would like to see this encyclopaedia in the department library.It would also be an excellent technical aid and a quick and reliable source of information for the food industry particularly for managers, lawyers, or marketeers with limited background in food and nutrition science, for government bodies dealing with food and nutrition policies, consultants to the food and processing industry, as well as for dailies, magazines, and broadcasting companies covering food and nutrition items."
