I was talking today to my spiritual "kids" about textbooks.
Here is a good one:
Fennema's Food Chemistry, Fifth Edition
you can free download 3rd edition from here.
This blog is fanatic about FunFood (i.e. FUNctional Food to make us happier and healthier).

QUALIFICATIONS:
OVERALL
PURPOSE OF THE JOB:
|
DESCRIPTION:
The Department offers
undergraduate programmes in Bioscience, Food Science and Health and Equine
Science. It also makes a significant contribution to programmes such as BSc
Biological Sciences (Education), BSc Environmental Science, BSc Industrial
Biochemistry and BSc Nursing and Midwifery. The recently launched BSc
programme in Bioscience will provide graduates with degree level competences
in this commercially important area of Life Science. The appointee will support the BSc Bioscience, providing teaching
expertise in genomics, cell biology and molecular biology while adding a
novel and important dimension to existing research interests in food science,
biomedical science or biopharmaceuticals that link with the Bernal Institute
and/or the Health Research Institute.
The Department now wishes to
recruit a Lecturer below the Bar in Genomics/Nutrigenomics to support its
teaching and research mission. The
Department seeks exceptional applicants whose research complements existing
research themes within the Faculty in the area(s) of food and health or
biopharmaceuticals. Particular consideration will be given to
candidates with a basic or translational research program in genomics/nutrigenomics
with specific application to functional foods or
biopharmaceuticals.
Candidates ideally should have substantial post-doctoral experience, a
record of independent research achievements and an appropriate publication
record. Candidates should have the ability to lecture to students in
the sciences and be committed to teaching excellence. The successful
candidate will be expected to establish an independent research programme
supported by extramural funding and to supervise postgraduate research
students. The successful candidate is expected to be able to work
independently as well as contribute to research centres/groups, such as the
Bernal Institute (http://www.bernalinstitute.com/
or the Health Research Institute (http://www.ul.ie/research/hri)
to develop and enhance the subject areas of food science and health or
biopharmaceuticals.
