Quality is a composite term encompassing many characteristics of
foods. These include color, aroma, texture, general nutrition,
shelf-life, stability, and possible presence of undesirable
constituents. Obviously deterioration of quality may lead to
changes in the attributes that characterize the food in its fresh
or freshly processed state. In addition, quality enhancement of
products may be carried out using appropriate processing
techniques. Interaction of different components present with one
another could have a profound effect on sensory quality of
products. Meanwhile, presence of extraneous matter such as
pesticides and debris may also contribute to a compromise in the
quality of foods. In addition, processing often brings about
changes in many attributes of food including its nutritional value.
Thus, examination of process-induced changes in food products is
important. In this book, a cursory account of quality attributes of
fresh and processed foods is provided.
The book is of interest to food scientists, nutritionists and
biochemists in academia, government and industry.
