"This book contains much valuable information to all interested parties." Charlie Lipid Technology "The book is excellent, well organised and clearly written. I can easily recommend it to food scientists, fat chemists and analysts working in the field of authentication and adulteration check-up of high-value oils and fats, as well as speciality oils." Chemistry and Industry "Michael Jee has many years of experience in this area, and he is to be commended for bringing together many of the best-known experts to survey specific topics with little duplication... readable and technically sound with an acceptable index. Each chapter contained a useful, but thankfully not exhaustive, list of references... I have no hesitation in recommending this book to all concerned with the chemistry of oils and fats." Food Science and Technology "I would certainly recommend this book to lipid chemists and analytical chemists who wish to become more familiar with the issues of authentication... highly readable."
