Natural Food Flavors and Colorants (Institute of Food Technologists Series)

"The market for fully natural food products continues to grow, driving an increased interest in food additives derived from biological sources. In this book the author utilizes his over fifty years of experience in food chemistry and technology in order to produce the most detailed and comprehensive guide on natural food flavors and colors. Second edition has been fully updated, including two new chapters on Colored Vegetables and Stevia. Divided into three parts, Part I of the book begins with analysis, general properties and techniques. Regulatory information on synthetic colors in food will be very useful. Part II describes the various natural flavors and colorants that are available, alphabetized for convenient reference and including all the relevant recent developments since the publication of the first edition. Both the researchers and manufacturers will find FCC description of many products and the Identification numbers of regulatory bodies most valuable. Part III examines the future prospects of research and manufacture. Finally a well prepared Index will be of immense value to readers for getting a quick explanation and understanding of the various compounds, techniques and subjects covered. In particular, this guide will be of use to researchers, teachers, regulators, formulators and manufacturers of food"-- Read more...

Although many foods are appealing, and even perceived as natural, in spite of containing synthetic additives, consumer increasingly prefer food products which are fully natural. This has driven an increase in the use of, and interest in, food additives derived from biological sources. Of particular interest are natural food flavors and colors, which have started to play a major role in food processing.

This volume presents practical information on over 80 natural extracts that can be used as food flavors and colors, drawing on the author's 50 years of food chemistry and technology expertise in both research and industry. The book is divided into three parts: Part I deals with manufacture, quality, analysis, and regulatory aspects. Part II describes the various sources of natural flavors and colorants that are currently available, alphabetized for convenient reference. Part III covers future directions that can be pursued by research workers and manufacturers.

Food scientists, researchers and product development professionals alike will find Natural Food Flavors and Colorants an invaluable resource for understanding and using these commercially important natural food ingredients.
