Because of the recent agitation of the pure food question throughout the country, health officers and food-inspectors, are constantly called upon to test the purity of various foods and this usually involves nothing more than making simple qualitative tests for adulterants. In view of the fact that there is now no text or manual devoted exclusively to the qualitative examination of foods, this little book is offered to those who are interested in this work. Its aim is to bring together in one small book the best and simplest qualitative tests for all the common food adulterants. It contains a brief statement of the adulterants likely to be found and the reason for their use. It is hoped that it will be specially valuable to food safety labs in furnishing excellent supplementary work in qualitative analysis. But it is hoped that it will find its greatest usefulness in contributing something toward the great pure food reform. The updated version includes all protocols collected from the original Edwin M Bruce book and 210 simple protocols collected from The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation Organization, 29 protocols from The Directorate of Prevention and Food Adulteration, Government of Delhi, India and Directorate of Marketing & Inspection (DMI), Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India and 129 protocols from the "Quick test for some adulterants in foods" an instruction manual developed by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, Government of India.

It will also serve as an essential reference source to undergraduate and postgraduate students, and for researchers in universities and research institutions. - Presents emerging imaging techniques that have proven to be powerful, non-destructive tools for food authentication - Includes applications of hyperspectral imaging to reflect the current trend of developments in food imaging technology for each topic area - Provides pixel level visualization techniques needed for fast and effective food sample testing - Contains two new chapters on Imaging Spectroscopic Techniques
[Embodies] some salient features of the present status of food adulteration in the United States.
The determination of food authenticity is a vital component of quality control. Its importance has been highlighted in recent years by high-profile cases in the global supply chain such as the European horsemeat scandal and the Chinese melamine scandal which led to six fatalities and the hospitalisation of thousands of infants. As well as being a safety concern, authenticity is also a quality criterion for food and food ingredients. Consumers and retailers demand that the products they purchase and sell are what they purport to be. This book covers the most advanced techniques used for the authentication of a vast number of products around the world. The reader will be informed about the latest pertinent analytical techniques. Chapters focus on the novel techniques & markers that have emerged in recent years. An introductory section presents the concepts of food authentication while the second section examines in detail the analytical techniques for the detection of fraud relating to geographical, botanical, species and processing origin and production methods of food materials and ingredients. Finally, the third section looks at consumer attitudes towards food authenticity, the application of bioinformatics to this field, and the Editor’s conclusions and future outlook. Beyond being a reference to researchers working in food authentication it will serve as an essential source to analytical scientists interested in the field and food scientists to appreciate analytical approaches. This book will be a companion to under- and postgraduate students in their wander in food authentication and aims to be useful to researchers in universities and research institutions.
Food Safety in the 21st Century: Public Health Perspective is an important reference for anyone currently working in the food industry or those entering the industry. It provides realistic, practical, and very usable information about key aspects of food safety, while also systematically approaching the matter of foodborne illness by addressing the intricacies of both prevention and control.
