This volume covers all the basic techniques of sensory testing, from simple discrimination tests to home use placements for consumers. It provides fundamental theories, psychological and statistical, that form the basis and rationale for sensory test design. Statistics used in sensory evaluation are also demonstrated both as stand-alone material presented in appendices and as integrated applications in the context of appropriate sensory methods. Chapters are constructed so that beginning students who want only the practical aspects of conducting sensory test will see clear instruction on how test should be conducted.

The tools and methods this guide provides for analysing and treating allergies in children are adaptable to a variety of situations - without ever losing sight of a child's nutritional needs. Recognising that deficiencies in critical nutrients during a child's early years can have enormous consequences on growth and bodily functions, the book focuses on prevention and allergy management during pregnancy, in the early weeks of life, and in early childhood. The unique allergen scale and the strategies for confronting the top 10 allergens will help parents balance their child's specific nutritional needs while managing delicate allergies to food.
