"Examining the importance of flavor compounds in the production, processing, and storage of foods, this book begins with an introduction to the chemical and sensory aspects of food flavors. Detailing the formation of specific flavors in foods, it emphasizes flavor precursors, presents universal mechanisms and pathways in aroma compound biogenesis, and focuses on the interaction of flavor compounds with proteins, lipids, and saccharides.
