From structural studies and investigations of molecules in frozen sugar solutions, to identifying the origins of salmon and detecting free radicals in irradiated food, magnetic resonance techniques can provide useful information.

Divided into four main sections:

• A View Towards the Next Century
• Food Safety and Health
• Structure and Dynamics
• Analysis, Monitoring and Authentication

Magnetic Resonance in Food Science consists of top quality contributions from renowned international scientists, and looks at what magnetic resonance techniques can offer both now and in the future.
