Synopsis: A dictionary of easy consultation on topics and issues of food science. The characteristic feature of this dictionary are the constant references between the entries that transform it into a short but complete manual of food science. The definitions adopted in this dictionary are in accordance with the current knowledge on the topic of nutrition, but the Author strongly believes that these definitions should not be definite or immutable as if they were dogmas of faith. The proper way to interpret them is the way of hypothesis work; to subject them to verification by the scientific community and to wait until their confirmation or contradiction. This is the mandatory itinerary of the scientific progress. The proclamations that are not based on facts they do not belong to science.
