LATEST EDITION of BOOK ON CHEESE

The text is written in simple language describing the origins and principles (Volume I) and procedures and analysis (Volume II) for producing important foods from milk fermentations. It should fit the needs of the technical school and college student, industry and regulatory personnel, and of those engaged in international food development. Highlights of fermented milk foods and cheeses in many parts of the world are presented. Portrayal of the products and processes, both traditional and modern automated methods, through numerous photographs and pen and ink sketches make this book a collector's item for the gourmet and non-technical reader who is interested in learning something of these natural foods.

CHEESE and FERMENTED MILK FOODS
Third Edition
by FRANK V. KOSIKOWSKI and
VIKRAM V. MISTRY

Cheese and Fermented Milk Foods is the most widely read book in the world of cheese and cultured dairy foods, enjoyed by students, technical workers and the layman alike. Prof. F. V. Kosikowski (Cornell University) completed the First Edition in 1966, and the Second Edition in 1972. For this new Third Edition, Prof. V.V. Mistry (South Dakota State University) has added his contributions to the legacy established by Prof. Kosikowski. The cheese and fermented milk foods industries throughout the world have continued to evolve in many exciting ways, but the basic principles of cheese making developed many years ago still persist and have served as the foundation for these new developments. It was important, therefore, to retain these basic principles in the new Third Edition of Cheese and Fermented Milk Foods while changing and expanding each chapter to include the new developments. Five new chapters and many new illustrations and tables have been added. The book has been split into two volumes to allow the inclusion of new developments while maintaining a reasonable size of the individual volumes. New bacterial nomenclature and the metric system have been used throughout. World Wide Web addresses for USDA and FAO statistics, including production, consumption and food composition data are provided.
