Because it differs from most vegetable oils in the way it is recovered and handled, oil processors and food producers require background information. This book covers technological aspects and biochemistry, a description of detailed techniques and an analysis of olive oil from the standpoint of general methodology. This book promotes the widespread utility for such analyses and contributes to an appreciation of the unique properties of olive oil including nutritional properties.Harwood, John L. is the author of 'Handbook of Olive Oil Analysis and Properties' with ISBN 9780834216334 and ISBN 0834216337.
