The purpose of this book is to give a short and clear account of the alchemists, their ways of thought and their contribution to man's achievement. This is a peculiarly difficult task firstly because we do not know all that the alchemists believed and did owing to their deliberate and avowed concealment of the parts of their work that they considered most important; secondly because the alchemical habit of thought was very unlike that of the modern reader; and lastly because so much of their work remains unstudied and a great deal of what is known about them is still a battle ground for conversationalists.

Product Description: Advanced Mass Spectrometry for Food Safety and Quality provides information on recent advancements made in mass spectrometry-based techniques and their applications in food safety and quality, also covering the major challenges associated with implementing these technologies for more effective identification of unknown compounds, food profiling, or candidate biomarker discovery...read more

Product Description: There is a growing need for high-throughput separations in food and environmental research that are able to cope with the analysis of a large number of compounds in very complex matrices. Whereas the most common approach for solving many analytical problems has often been high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the recent use of fast or ultra-fast chromatographic methods for environmental and food analysis has increased the overall sample throughput and laboratory efficiency without loss (and even with an improvement) in the resolution obtained by conventional HPLC systems...read more

Mass spectrometry has undergone a great deal of development as an empirical subject and many useful approaches to the analysis and identification of organic molecules have been developed without a detailed understanding of theory of ion behaviour. This is also the way in which the subject is usually approached and it is the tack adopted here. That does not mean to say that an understanding of ion behaviour is not important - it is, but that understanding is still being developed and this book is designed for those wishing to use mass spectrometry now. To provide a good understanding of mass spectrometry, the basic theory of ion formation and behaviour, the instrumentation and the interpretation of the spectra of organic molecules are covered. There are also sections covering combined gas chromatography - mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry, which are two of the most powerful techniques available to the analytical chemist.
