Leo M.L. Nollet, PhD, received an MS (1973) and PhD (1978) in biology from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. He is an editor and associate editor of numerous books. He edited for M. Dekker, New York-now CRC Press of Taylor & Francis-the first, second, and third editions of the books entilted Food Analysis by HPLC and Handbook of Food Analysis. The last edition is a two volume book. He also edited the Handbook of Water Analysis (first, second, and third editions) and Chromatographic Analysis of the Environment, Third Edition (CRC Press). Dr. Nollet's recent projects include Proteomics in Foods with F. Toldra (Springer, 2013) and Transformation Products of Emerging Contaminants in the Environment: Analysis, Processes, Occurrence, Effects and Risks with D. Lambropoulou (Wiley, 2014). In this series, CRC Food Analysis & Properties, he edited with C. Ruiz-Capillas, Flow Injection Analysis of Food Additives (CRC Press, 2015).
