Reviews

This text will fill the need of the same readership envisaged of the first edition but in particular it should find a place in universities, research laboratories and the vegetable industry. [It] contains information on virtually every aspect of this important field of food production. It is well indexed and all the information required resides within each chapter. In fact, the numerous complete and informative tables and charts make this book an extremely useful reference text that is worth owning for this reason alone. Seldom if ever does one find so much useful, practical information contained in tabular and/or graphical format in one single textbook. - Food Technology in New Zealand, Vol. 39, NO. 5, June 2004 Promo Copy
