✦ Synopsis

Food Authentication comprises 12 chapters written by 13 authors on the authenticity of major commodities that feature in the food industry. Products covered include fruit juices, wine, meat, ®sh, cereals, vegetable oils, honey, coee, egg and milk products and other commodities. Naturally the authors are specialists in their ®elds and demonstrate their expertise in wellpresented and particularly well-referenced reviews. The book is set in 10/12 pt Times and is printed on a good quality white paper, enabling those like me who are becoming rather short-sighted to still enjoy reading the many interesting and topical chapters.
