“This manual, designed for the use of analysts, health officers, chemists and food economists, has been revised and enlarged to the extent of ninety pages; new material having been added or substituted for material in earlier editions. The former arrangement of chapters has been retained but the list of references at the end of chapters has been left out and, instead, more attention has been given to footnote references. A special feature is the final chapter by G. L. Wendt, ‘Determination of acidity by means of the hydrogen electrode.’ The book includes such subjects as food, its functions, proximate components, and nutritive value; general methods of food analysis including microscope and refractometer; milk and milk products; flesh foods; eggs; cereal grains; tea, coffee, and cocoa; edible oils and fats; sugar; as well as artificial food colors, food preservatives, artificial sweeteners, flavoring extracts, and substitutes.”—J Home Econ

“As a whole, however, the new edition well maintains the reputation of the work. It contains so much trustworthy information that chemists concerned with foodstuffs will find it invaluable.” C. S.
