"Explores the chemistry of spices to illuminate the significant volatile and nonvolatile compounds that create the distinctive flavor of various spices, and those that are responsible for the preservative effect of many spices. Examines the flavor chemistry of fenugreek, vanilla, onions and various other; describes analytical techniques including aroma extract dilution analysis, chromatography, chemiluminescent nitrogen detection, and mass spectrometry; and considers the antioxidant properties of such components as capsanthin in soybean oil, curcumin in ginger, and lavandin in rosemary. The 19 papers are from an international symposium in New Orleans, March 1996."--SciTech Book News
