A core subject in food Science, food chemistry is the study of the chemical composition, processes and interactions of all biological and non-biological components of foods.

This book is an English language translation of the author's Czech-language food chemistry textbook.

It includes chapters devoted to amino acids, peptides and proteins, fats and other lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, mineral substances and water.

It further includes chapters devoted to antinutritional, toxic and other biologically active substances, food additives and contaminants.
