"In general, the book represents a good overview of the existing state of the art in the methods of analysis of the concerned foods. Although it is not an encyclopaedia, it will be valuable for university students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in food science and technology as an ideal reference source."
—Martin Polovka, VUP Food Research Institute, Bratislava, in Journal of Food and Nutrition Research
