The book also includes ESR studies on the interaction of food items and packaging materials, along with a section on new approaches in ESR identification of irradiated foods that is followed by a chapter on international legislation relevant to irradiated food.
A section on ESR applications in characterizing ROS/antioxidants in food items and lipid oxidation, including spin labeling, spin trapping and imaging applications is also covered, as are ESR applications in nutrition and pharmaceutics.
- Serves as a complete reference on the application of ESR spectroscopy in food science research
- Focuses on applications and data interpretation, avoiding extensive use of mathematics so that it fulfils the need of young scientists from different disciplines
- Includes informative pages from leading manufacturers, highlighting the features of recent ESR spectrometers used in food science research
- Includes information on different, active, worldwide groups in ESR characterization of food items and beverages
Experts in the field of ESR, food scientists, Industrial researchers and test labs in the fields of food preparation and testing, practitioners in labs involved in food irradiation, technicians, scientists and professors in food science and food related organizations
