Handbook of Mineral Elements in Food

Mineral elements are found in foods and drink of all differenttypes, from drinking water through to mothers’ milk. Thesearch for mineral elements has shown that many trace andultratrace-level elements presented in food are required for ahealthy life. By identifying and analysing these elements, it ispossible to evaluate them for their specific health-givingproperties, and conversely, to isolate their less desirableproperties with a view to reducing or removing them altogether fromsome foods. The analysis of mineral elements requires a number ofdifferent techniques – some methods may be suitable for onefood type yet completely unsuited to another. The Handbook of Mineral Elements in Food is the firstbook to bring together the analytical techniques, the regulatoryand legislative framework, and the widest possible range of foodtypes into one comprehensive handbook for food scientists andtechnologists. Much of the book is based on the authors’ owndata, most of which is previously unpublished, making theHandbook of Mineral Elements in Food a vital andup-to-the-minute reference for food scientists in industry andacademia alike. Analytical chemists, nutritionists and food policymakers will also find it an invaluable resource. Showcasing contributions from international researchers, andconstituting a major resource for our future understanding of thetopic, the Handbook of Mineral Elements in Food is anessential reference and should be found wherever food science andtechnology are researched and taught.

Flow Injection Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Flow Injection Atomic Absorption Spectrometry is a unique merging of reference source and laboratory handbook, which will give the reader both the necessary theoretical background and the practical knowledge needed to utilize this powerful combination successfully. A detailed and practical description of the instrumentation used is included, and there are individual chapters covering both specific aspects of flow injection, and the ways in which they are used for different types of atomic absorption spectrometry. Applications to a wide range of fields are discussed in the closing chapter.
