Chemistry
More and more often, we read newspaper articles where food is designated as dangerous or likely to adversely affect the health if consumed. This may be caused by errors in the processes, the unknown effects of a process, or gaps in the chain of control. Food chemistry is complicated, but the main processes can be followed with relatively simple analysis. Nevertheless, now and then we need a little deeper knowledge to be able to choose the right analysis, interpret the results and draw the right conclusions.
