Handbook of Food Preservation

The ever-increasing number of food products and preservation techniques creates a great demand for an up to date handbook that will facilitate understanding of the methods, technology, and science involved in the manipulation of these conventional and sophisticated preservation methods. Extensively revised, reorganized, and expanded from 43 to 66 chapters, the Handbook of Food Preservation, Third Edition, remains the definitive resource on food preservation. An entirely new section is devoted to issues related to and that impact food preservation, including biotechnology, food security and sustainability, food labeling and food laws and regulations.
