The definitive guide to food additives and labelling regulations in Australia.
Dr Geoffrey Skurray presents the most up-to-date and comprehensive catalogue of food additives approved for use in food processing in Australia today.
Each entry lists the source of the additive, its function, acceptable daily intake (ADI) and maximum allowable levels, together with a description of its properties and its uses.
In addition the book addresses contemporary issues such as new labelling regulations, why the food industry uses additives, food allergies and food sensitivities, consumer concerns about genetically modified and irradiated food, and links between food additives and attention disorders or hyperactivity in children.
Foreword by Australia's leading nutritionist Dr Rosemary Stanton OAM.
