Overview

Providing an authoritative and practical guide to the range of instrumentation and sensors available to the food technology professional, the first edition of Instrumentation and Sensors for the Food Industry quickly established itself as the standard work in its field. This new edition has been comprehensively revised to include new developments and techniques, including the development of on-line sensors for immediate analysis and control of production. It has been expanded to a larger format and is now organized into five parts, including a substantial appendix with a glossary of sensors terminology and ancillary tables.
