This web edition has been extensively revised and updated.

The book is an introduction to food product development for product developers starting in the food industry, and for undergraduate students in an introductory product development course. It is an interactive book to be used in conjunction with a product development project; it is assumed that the reader is either starting a product development project and will be involved until the launching of the product or is studying a completed product development project. The book leads the reader through the PD project.
