Fishery Products: Quality, Safety and Authenticity
Fishery Products: Quality, Safety and Authenticity
Author(s): Edited by Hartmut Rehbein & Jorg OehlenschlagerFood quality and safety issues continue to dominate the press, with most food companies spending large amounts of money to ensure that the food quality and assessment procedures in place are adequate and produce good and safe food. This holds true for companies and laboratories responsible for the processing of fish into various products, those responsible for researching safe new products, and departments within other companies supporting these functions.
Fishery Products brings together details of all the major methodologies used to assess the quality of fishery products in the widest sense. Subject coverage of this important book includes chapters on assessment of authenticity, and several chapters on quality assessment using various methods, such as:
- Texture measurement
- Colour measurement
