Comment: This is a book in the Functional Foods and Nutraceutical Series published by CRC press. It provides details on the analysis of particular compounds in a variety of food matrixes. As the subject of functional foods and neutraceuticals advances, standardized analytical methods need to be used to provide data to health regulatory officials and reliable label information for the consumer. Special analytical methods need to be developed because many of the active ingredients in functional foods are found in very small quantities and /or are very sensitive.
