Description for Applications of Vibrational Spectroscopy in Food Science, 2 Volume Set
Hardcover. Bringing several disparate aspects of food science and analysis together in one place, Applications of Vibrational Spectroscopy to Food Science provides a comprehensive, state-of the-art text presenting the fundamentals of the methodology, as well as underlying current areas of research in food science analysis. Editor(s): Li-Chan, Eunice; Chalmers, John M.; Griffiths, Peter R. Num Pages: 752 pages, Illustrations (some col.). BIC Classification: PNFS; TDCT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 253 x 194 x 46. Weight in Grams: 2218.
Bringing several disparate aspects of food science and analysis together in one place, Applications of Vibrational Spectroscopy to Food Science provides a comprehensive, state-of the-art text presenting the fundamentals of the methodology, as well as underlying current areas of research in food science analysis. All of the major spectroscopic techniques are also covered – showing how each one can be used beneficially and in a complementary approach for certain applications. Case studies illustrate the many applications in vibrational spectroscopy to the analysis of foodstuffs.

About Eunice Li-Chan
Eunice Y.C. Li-Chan is Professor of Chemistry at the University of British Columbia. B.Sc. (Agr), Food Science, The University of British Columbia, M.Sc., Biochemistry, The University of Alberta, Ph.D., Food Science, The University of British Columbia. Her research interests are to: elucidate structure-function relationships of food proteins &peptides; apply Raman and other spectroscopic methods to study food systems; discover peptides & proteins with specific biological or functional activity for use as value added-products from the food industry John Chalmers is an independent consultant in the field of vibrational spectroscopy, as well as a Reader at the University of Nottingham. John left ICI in 1997 after 22 years, serving as a Business Research Associate in the Science Support Group of ICI Technology. He is chairman of the UK Infrared and Raman Discussion Group (IRDG) and current chairman of the RSC (Royal Society of Chemistry) Molecular Spectroscopy Subject Group. He is a member of the Association of British Spectroscopists (ABS) Trust. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. In 1994, he received the Williams-Wright Award from the Coblentz Society. Peter Griffiths is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Idaho. In 1972, he joined the faculty of Ohio University, becoming Distinguished Professor less than 10 years later. After spending 7 years on the faculty of the University of California, Riverside, he was appointed chair of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Idaho, a post he held for 8 years. Professor Griffiths has published 4 books, 25 book chapters and over 200 papers in the area of vibrational spectroscopy. He has received various awards, including the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh Award and the Fritz Pregl Medal of the Austrian Society of Analytical Chemistry.
Reviews for Applications of Vibrational Spectroscopy in Food Science, 2 Volume Set
"The subjects of the chapters are well balanced and informative, and, despite the high price of the book, it is a good investment for scientists working in analytical chemistry and biotechnology." (Anal Bioanal Chem, 13 November 2011) "In their preface the editors emphasize that no, this is not just another book on NIR spectroscopy - a technique that has enjoyed successful, widespread application for the analysis of cereals and other raw materials. What they want to communicate in particular is that NIR, mid-IR, and Raman spectroscopy all have roles to play in the study of foods and beverages and that knowledge of all three techniques is essential for selecting the best approach." (Reference and Research Book News, February 2011)"Bringing several disparate aspects of food science and analysis together in one place, Applications of Vibrational Spectroscopy to Food Science provides a comprehensive, state-of the-art text presenting the fundamentals of the methodology, as well as underlying current areas of research in food science analysis".
