Preface for Food Science and Technology, edited by Geoffrey Campbell-Platt

Published by Wiley-Blackwell and IUFoST

This book Food Science and Technology is being widely used around the world, as the key textbook for University courses, leading to Degrees in the subject.

It is produced by The International Union of Food Science and Technology, IUFoST, the professional organisation representing some 250,000 Food Scientists, Food Engineers and Technologists in some 70 countries globally. China is a key member, through its Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology, CIFST, which together with IUFoST hosted the 14th World Congress of Food Science and Technology, in Shanghai in 2008, and delivers the International Food Safety Forums, held in April in each of the past five years in Beijing.

For the successful future of the increasing world populations, IUFoST has set the mission of Strengthening Global Food Science for Humanity. It is helping deliver on its objectives of Food Safety and Food Security through Education. By making this important textbook available in Chinese, it is hoped to increase the knowledge and awareness of future Food Scientists and Technologists, benefitting from the wide range of international expertise and knowledge it contains.

Good studying, and future career and prosperity!
