Mastering the chemistry of foods: practical methods for analysis and quality control. This comprehensive guide covers the essential techniques used to test foods and food products, from vitamins to pasteurization, gums, jams, milk products, and beyond.

This edition aims to present short, practical methods that are usable in routine analysis and regulatory work. It is designed as both an educational text and a manual for manufacturers, laboratories, and regulatory agencies seeking dependable, current approaches to ensure safer, better food supplies.

• Systematic coverage of chemical analysis for foods and food products, including newer topics and practical procedures.

• Techniques for detecting improper pasteurization, homogenization of milk, and the presence of gums and other additives.

• Guidance on topics such as jams and jellies, milk products, soy bean flour in meats, pumped smoked meats, and vitamin analysis.
• Structured chapters on general methods, physical-chemical methods, coloring matters, preservatives, metals, and dairy products.

Ideal for readers of regulatory science, food technology, and quality control who need concrete, field-tested methods in a single reference.

NOTE: This is an original  book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. 

In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
