Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage:

" Der groe Vorteil des Buches besteht zweifelsohne darin, dass es sehr pragnant gefasst ist und einen schnellen Uberblick uber alle Wichtigen Aspekte des Selens ermoglicht. Das Buch ist gut gegliedert. Wichtige Themen sind daher leicht zu finden. Die Inhalte sind weitgehend sehr anschaulich. Texte werden in sinnvoller Weise durch Tabellen erganzt. lnsgesamt uberzeugt das Buch besonders durch seine Kurze und Pragnanz. Es ist sicherlich eine Bereicherung fur Bibliotheken in ernahrungswissenschaftlichen Instituten. Empfohlen werden kann es auch interessierten Studenten "
