About This Book

A systematic survey of common food sophistications and the analytical methods used to detect them, organized by commodity—tea, coffee, cocoa, dairy, bread and starches, sugar and confectionery, fermented and distilled beverages, water, oils, vinegars, spices, and other grocery items. Chapters blend chemical procedures with microscopic illustration and practical laboratory guidance, assess typical adulterants and their health implications, and provide references alongside a compilation of relevant legislation to assist hygienists, regulators, and analysts in identifying and addressing food fraud.
