Introductory Foods is a market-leading introduction to all-things food. It's an engaging practical survey of food science and our food supply for use in professional careers and in preparation for the Registration Exam for Dietitians (RD and RDN). Its scientific approach to examining the ingredients and techniques of food service makes it a well-rounded resource for food preparation labs.
The revised 15th Edition dives deeper into food science. It also adds greater relevance through coverage of topics such as farm-to-table, commercial and processed foods, and vegan food products. Food science discussions now dive deeper into biochemical interactions within food products, the production of commercial and processed foods, and variations in international foods.
