The book is divided into two main sections: Biochemistry and Human Nutrition. The first section is comprised of eight chapters covering the metabolism of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, as well as the basics of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and nucleic acids. The second section addresses topics such as the digestion and absorption of macronutrients, nutritional requirements for different age groups, methods for qualitative and quantitative determination of nutrients, milk intolerance and hypersensitivity, food additive safety, toxic elements, and radionuclides, and various nutritional policies.
