Rapid and On-Line Instrumentation for Food Quality Assurance (Woodhead Publishing Series in Food Science, Technology and Nutrition)

Rapid and On-Line Instrumentation for Food Quality Assurance (Woodhead Publishing Series in Food Science, Technology and Nutrition) Review

See more picture

Many measurements of product and process characteristics have traditionally been 'off-line', involving removing the product and taking it to a quality control laboratory for analysis over a period of hours or even days. However, the development of faster, more automated methods of production, and the shift to more proactive quality and safety management systems such as HACCP, has forced the food industry to look for more rapid methods with the potential for continuous, real-time measurement of products and processes. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, this important collection summarises key developments in this growing field.

Part 1 reviews the emergence of new methods for analysing food safety. It includes chapters on the detection of foreign bodies, other contaminants such as toxins, pesticides, dioxins and veterinary residues, and rapid methods for detecting pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. Part 2 discusses the measurement of product quality. There are chapters on analysing ingredients such as additives and micronutrients, genetically-modified organisms and added water. A number of chapters discuss methods for analysing food composition, and the use of electronic noses to monitor food quality. A final chapter reviews ways of integrating such measurements into effective process control.

Rapid and on-line instrumentation for food quality assurance provides a benchmark of good practice in this important field, and will be a valuable reference for the food industry.

The Uncertainty of Measurements: Physical and Chemical Metrology and Analysis

The Uncertainty of Measurements: Physical and Chemical Metrology and Analysis Review

See more picture

With the uncertainly of measurement results drawing the attention of managers, metrologists, and customers, this comprehensive guide works to show the importance of metrology while explaining the science of the uncertainty of measurements. Kimothi shows how the accuracy of measurements affects all of us in trade, commerce, safety, health care, environmental protection, and more. External and internal customers, along with regulatory agencies, often prescribe measurement accuracy requirements. This book helps to sort out the current issues surrounding measurement reliability. Kimothi's explanations make it easier for organizations to understand the concerns of measurement uncertainty in decision-making.

Newcomers to metrology will find Kimothi's explanations easy to follow because this book starts off with a comprehensive introduction to the basic principles of reliable measurements. As the text progresses, these basic principles provide a foundation for more and more advanced aspects of measurement uncertainty. The book describes: the need for measurement certainty, techniques to achieve results, and standards in measurement. This comprehensive range of information makes this an ideal desk reference for metrology students and statistical quality enthusiasts. Kimothi includes information about current events regarding reliable measurements and how the uncertainty of measurements affects trade, Six Sigma, and more.

Topics covered include:
· Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) approach
· A complete chapter on calibration and measurement traceability
· Statistical techniques in metrology
· Examples of measurement data and random variables
· Probability density functions
· Sampling distribution
· Statistical estimation degrees of freedom and regression
· How to evaluate various uncertainties in measurements using several approaches including international consensus
· One chapter is devoted to measurement errors
· Information specific to calibration laboratories
· Examples of R&R studies
