Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"This work, with only six chapters, covers a fraction of the vast area of food biotechnology … . the detailed information included in each chapter is meticulously referenced and complete. … the chapters are well written and easy to understand. The many examples used by the authors give the book a very practical feel, making it an easier read than one might expect. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals in biology, biochemistry, food science, and biological engineering." (I. U. Gruen, Choice, Vol. 46 (11), 2009)
