The search for mineral elements has shown that many trace and ultratrace-level elements presented in food are required for a healthy life. By identifying and analysing these elements, it is possible to evaluate them for their specific health-giving properties, and conversely, to isolate their less desirable properties with a view to reducing or removing them altogether from some foods. The analysis of mineral elements requires a number of different techniques – some methods may be suitable for one food type yet completely unsuited to another.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Mineral Elements in Food\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to bring together the analytical techniques, the regulatory and legislative framework, and the widest possible range of food types into one comprehensive handbook for food scientists and technologists. Much of the book is based on the authors’ own data, most of which is previously unpublished, making the \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Mineral Elements in Food\u003c\/i\u003e a vital and up-to-the-minute reference for food scientists in industry and academia alike.
