Product Description
Product Description
The new edition of this book aims to bridge 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 emphasized and information about dietary reference values is included, as well as an explanation on why "dietary fibre" should now be referred to as "non-starch polysaccharides", and a new section on vegetarian diets. While principally intended for students of food science and nutrition, catering and health subjects, it will be of interest to anyone concerned about improving their diet.

Format:Paperback
This book is a must have for Food students who have no prior knowledge of the structure of foods. As a first year degree student I found the book invaluable even though I had previous knowledge from A-level. The book is divided into discrete chapters which provide all the relevant information in a straight forward manner. The book includes relevant diagrams of chemical structures. This title can be turned to for help in both chemical aspects and chemical make-up of foods. This will be a well used title in any bookshelf.
