This comprehensive treatise on all aspects of carotenoid color technology will fill
a gap in the carotenoid literature. J. C. Bauernfeind is to be congratulated as editor
for arranging the presentation of all technological aspects of this field in ten welldocumented
chapters. This unique book includes about 100 figures, 250 tables, and
about 4000 literature citations, and complements existing monographs such as
"Carotenoids" (edited by O. Isler etal., Birkhäuser, Basel, 1971); "Carotenoids"
(edited by P. Karrer and E. Jucker, Elsevier, London and Amsterdam, 1950); and
"The Comparative Biochemistry of the Carotenoids" (edited by T. W. Goodwin,
Chapman & Hall Ltd., London, 1952).
