Food Manufacture International
P M Gamman
It is not easy to explain 'matter scientific' to those with little scientific training but the authors have made great efforts to get away from jargon and have simplified all explanations.
Food Trade Review

The authors have attained their objective in that the book is concise, well-structured, and at the same time makes pleasant and easy reading, even though the subject is very technical.
