Flavourings The demand for flavourings has been constantly growing over the last years as a result of the dramatic changes caused by an increasingly industrialized way-of-life: The consumer is attracted to taste experiences which are not only pleasurable, interesting, exciting and new, but also combine convenience with today's expectations of a healthy, well-balanced life-style. In this second revised and updated edition, the book once again draws on the expert knowledge of more than 40 contributors with backgrounds in both industry and academia to grant a comprehensive overview of the production, processing, composition and application of various food flavourings.

Additionally, the authors focus on toxicological, legal, and ethical aspects, quality control methods and systems, as well as the conventional and innovative analytical techniques employed in this field. This expanded edition discusses in detail the manifold advances in processing and applications, including an extensive evaluation of the use of flavourings in convenience foods, plus the topic of aroma analysis. Up-to-date references to pertinent literature and an in-depth subject index complete this overview of the captivating world of flavourings.
