The Clermont-Ferrand-Theix Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) was proud to organize the 10th International Conference on the applications of Magnetic Resonance in Food Science to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The conference attracted ninety participants from fourteen countries from all over the world including seven invited lectures, nineteen oral presentations and twenty seven oral poster presentations. The conference was divided into six sessions covering data processing, new developments/food system, new developments/NMR, nutrition, metabolomic and imaging. This book follows the form of the conference.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this book is the proceedings of the conference, and forms part of the continuing series of proceedings of the biennial conferences on applications of magnetic resonance to food science. Magnetic Resonance in Food Science is a global survey written by leading authorities. It provides readers with an awareness of current activity in the field and potential applications.
