Bitterness Modification in Food Processing
from C.H.I.P.S.

Modifying Bitterness
Mechanism, Ingredients, and Applications

edited by Glenn Roy


This book provides a thorough science-based presentation of the subject, including the latest findings on the mechanism of bitterness perception and the many ingredients and methods available to modify bitterness in specific foods and beverages.

This is the first comprehensive treatment of this subject in book form. The up-to-date information will serve the information needs of all those involved in the research, development, formulation and processing of food, beverage and oral pharmaceutical products.

Features:

  • Comprehensive presentation of bitterness modification in food, beverage and oral pharmaceutical formulation and processing
  • In-depth science-based examination of the bitterness perception mechanism
  • Extensive current information on practical applications in formulating a wide range of food and beverage products
