Bitterness is one of the four commonly accepted taste qualities (the others are sweet, salty and sour) and is surprisingly wide spread in foods. Bitter compounds have been reported in just about every food from avocado's to zucchini. Bitterness can be elicited from a diverse collection of chemical compounds encompassing a wide range of molecular size and functional groups. The complexity of the bitterness response can make the studies in this area perplexing.

This book was designed to be of practical assistance to those food scientists who may be struggling with a bitterness problem as well as those sensory scientists interested in bitterness.

The work is organized in four major sections.
