This can result in the  destruction of  vast stocks of product, and very substantial financial  losses to food  companies. The concentration of the alien compound in  the food can be  so low that very sophisticated equipment is needed to  identify the  components and to determine its source.  It is vital  that every  company involved in the production, distribution and sale  of  foodstuffs are fully aware of the ways in which contamination can  accrue, how it can be avoided, and what steps need to be taken in the  event that a problem does arise. This book provides the background  information needed to recognize how food can become tainted, to draw  up guidelines to prevent this contamination, and to plan the steps  that  should be taken in the event of an outbreak.  The new edition  has been extensively revised and updated and includes substantial new  material on the formation of off flavors due to microbiological and  enzymic action, and on sensory evaluation of taints and off flavors A  new chapter on off flavors in alcoholic beverages has been added.  Written primarily for industrial food technologists, this volume is  also an essential reference source for workers in research and  government institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780751402636\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780751402636\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-2151-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 326\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341231059084,"sku":"9780751402636","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780751402636_8b85e863-2bd3-4211-a596-a506f097f19b.jpg?v=1755060803","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780751402636","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
