  The 6th edition of this well-established book bridges the gap between the scientific principles on which good nutrition is based and the day-to-day practice of 'healthy eating'. The basic chemical natures of the important food groups are outlined together with the changes which occur when food is cooked, processed and eaten. The relationship between good nutrition and good health is emphasised, with accurate and up-to-date information about this critically important subject. Although principally intended for students of food science and nutrition, catering and health subjects, it will be of interest and value to all those concerned about improving diet.

  Rewritten to keep abreast of changing attitudes towards food as well as technological advances, this provides the necessary basis of elementary chemistry and goes on to meet the needs of most food science, home economics and nutrition courses. It covers not only the nature of food and its functions, but describes the changes undergone during, storage, processing, preserving, cooking and eating. Additional chapters discuss spoilage, food poisoning and hygiene. The link between diet and health is emphasized throughout.
