"...an outstanding resource of a wide range of information, from general to specific use and application tips of more than 80 different plants and their essential oils...a very useful assemblage not only for flavour and sensory scientists, food scientists, and nutritionists, but also for those who are involved in new product or packaging development and food safety." --Acta Alimentaria
Essential Oils in Food Preservation, Flavor and Safety discusses the major advances in the understanding of the Essential Oils and their application, providing a resource that takes into account the fact that there is little attention paid to the scientific basis or toxicity of these oils. This book provides an authoritative synopsis of many of the complex features of the essential oils as applied to food science, ranging from production and harvesting, to the anti-spoilage properties of individual components. It embraces a holistic approach to the topic, and is divided into two distinct parts, the general aspects and named essential oils. With more than 100 chapters in parts two and three, users will find valuable sections on botanical aspects, usage and applications, and a section on applications in food science that emphasizes the fact that essential oils are frequently used to impart flavor and aroma. However, more recently, their use as anti-spoilage agents has been extensively researched.
Part 1: General Aspects Part 2: Named Essential Oils
