Editorial Reviews
Review
“Additives have their advantages for the food industry in order to provide safe and convenient food products. It is therefore essentialk that as much information as possible is available to allow an informed decision on the selection of an additive for a particular purpose. This data book provides such information – consisting of over 1000 pages and covering around 350 additives. This data book does provide a vast amount of information; it is what it claims to be! Overall, this is a very useful publication and a good reference book for anyone working in the food and dairy industry.” International Journal of Dairy Technology, Volume 59 Issue 2, May 2006
“This book is the best I have ever seen … a clear winner over all other food additive books …. a superb edition.” SAAFOST (South African Association for Food Science and Technology)
