Synopsis

The flavour of a food is one of its most important qualities. Edited by two leading authorities in the field, and with a distinguished international team of contributors, this important collection summarises the wealth of recent research on how flavour develops in food and is then perceived by the consumer. The first part of the book reviews ways of measuring flavour. Part two looks at the ways flavour is retained and released in food. It considers the way flavour is retained in particular food matrices, how flavour is released during the process of eating, and the range of influences governing how flavour is perceived by the consumer. Flavour in food guides the reader through a complex subject and provides the essential foundation in both understanding and controlling food flavour.
