Preface to the Second Edition. It is a pleasure to present the second edition of the book on Food Science to our readers. In this edition the focus of the book has been enlarged to meet the needs of students in universities studying food science as a part of their degree programme. It is also intended to meet the needs of students in a number of faculties in which it is a major, ancillary or an elective subject. These include Home Science, Food Science & Technology, Agriculture, Catering, Education, Arts and allied areas. The contents in this edition have been revised on the basis of developments in the field, the changes in the curricula of universities and feedback from teachers and students. Thus the following four chapters have been added to improve the utility of the book— n Basic Food Chemistry (Chapter 2) n Food Acceptance & Sensory Evaluation of Foods (Chapter 7) n Food-borne Diseases (Chapter 19) n Food Laws & Food Standards (Chapter 20) As in the earlier edition, the topics have been arranged in such a manner as to develop the subject matter in a sequence. The basic theory has been amply illustrated by giving examples of familiar Indian foods. Figures (44) and tables (47) have been used extensively to help the understanding of the subject. It is hoped that the study of the subject matter will provide fundamental knowledge and understanding of Food Science to the students who may not carry the study further and that other students will find this to be an adequate foundation for advanced study. It is hoped that the book will meet a felt need of students and teachers of the subject. Any suggestion for improvement of the book in subsequent edition from teachers and students will be very much appreciated for it evinces a shared interest in the study and development of this fascinating subject.
