PREFACE Research and Development (R & D) is of major concern to nearly all aspects of the food industry. R & D is an essential part of most agricultural college programs. Further, R & D is part of nearly all graduate students studying in the food science, food technology, food processing, and food related programs. Lastly, R & D is of vital interest to the public at large and, of course, the ultimate consumer of the fruits of R & D. My interest is putting this book together was developed because of necessity as my advisors, teachers, and peers always talked about research and development, but seldom got down to the 5 W’s and 1 H, that is, the why, the when, the where, the what, the who, and the how. My advisor and many of my teachers left it up to me and my colleagues to find out who was doing research and development work, what topics were considered worthy of good research in the field, when was the work done, where was the information published, why was a given approach taken, and how were the results being utilized in the industry. I was totally appalled by the lack of good resource material and pertinent information. Further, I could not fiid good and sound research methods that fit the situation that I was always interested in. Therefore, after much consternation and thought, I developed an R & D course of instruction for the graduate students interested in my area of expertise and the thoughts in this book reflect some of the things that I gleaned and shared with these students as we struggled through some 40 years of research in food processing and technology. Many of my graduate students have shared with me much information in this book as they have worked in both academia and the food industry. They are the ones that made this book come to fruition and they are the ones that suggested I document my thoughts for those who follow, My most sincere thanks to my former students, my many collegeaues, and my many friends in the food industry for their helpful suggestions, criticisms, and inspirations. I particularly wish to thank Winston Bash, Ken Beck, Ron Gould, Bill Hildebolt, Jackie Hood, Jim Mavis, Wade Schulte, and Bill Stinson for their critiquing this manuscript and their helpful suggestions. My special thanks to Art Judge, II and Randall Gerstmyer for their constructive comments, interest, cooperation and valued assistance. Wilbur Gould
