"A visual and musical hymn of praise to what Andrés Segovia describes as 'the pride, strength, and reverence of the Spanish soul.' That soul is exhibited through the remarkable music of Spanish composers: Isaac Albéniz, Manuel de Falla, Enrique Granados, and Federico Moreno Torroba; and a gifted group of painters El Greco, Goya, and Velásquez. Madrid's El Prado Museum serves as the backdrop for musical performances by pianist Alicia de Larrocha, soprano Victoria de los Angeles, and guitarist Andrés Segovia who also doubles as our host on a tour of this famous building. Also seen is Spain's native art form, flamenco, as sung by Roque Montoya and danced by Coros y Danzas de España."--Container.

In 18 papers delivered at a symposium in New York City, August 1991, chemists review recent developments in techniques to test meat, poultry, milk, and other food of animal origin, for residues of antibiotics and other drugs used for such purposes as improving feed efficiency or promoting growth.

Filled with practical examples, this volume illustrates innovative flavor analysis techniques used by today's leaders in food chemistry. It covers flavor analysis for apples, beef, citrus, coffee, cheese, extruded pet foods, fungi, milk, and Maillard reaction systems, and the researchers come from throughout the industrialized world. Eleven of the chapters illustrate techniques for isolating volatile compounds from complex food matrices, including micro-scale liquid-liquid extraction, headspace sampling, solid phase microextraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and thermo desorption. The chapters devoted to analytical characterization include analyses of Amadori compounds, sulfur compounds, chiral compounds, coumarins and psoralens, flavor precursors, and natural products by GC, GC-MS, HPLC-MS, CCC (countercurrent chromatography), and GC-IRMS (gas chromatography isotope ration mass spectrometry). The final section covers sensory characterization and describes examples using the gas chromatography-olfactory techniques OSME and AEDA as well as the new GC-SOMMSA (selective odorant measurement by multisensor array).
