Thorough coverage of processing methods in included in all major food commodities as well as a background in microbiology and fermentation, food handling and safety, food contamination, HACCP principles and toxicology.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to food science, May 21 2008

This review is from: Understanding Food Science and Technology (with InfoTrac®) (Hardcover)
Purchased book for a high school student. I read it first and it claims to be suitable for the first two years of college. Either I got smarter or kids got dumber. This is an easy read for anybody with an 8th grade education. The book is very informative but not a hard read. I liked it a lot as it was well organized and covered a multitude of subjects relating to food science. This is even more meaingful because the book also provides a historical perspective.

I had to purchase this textbook for an Introduction to Food Science college level course. It is a great introduction, with explanations to help understand otherwise fairly tough material. Highly recommended if you are taking an intro to food science course or if you want to learn more about the subject!

I am very pleased with my used book purchase. The book is, for all intents and purposes, as good as new, without marks or bruises.
