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 entitled 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).With F. Toldrá, he coedited two books published in 2006 and 2007: Advanced Technologies for Meat Processing (CRC Press) and Advances in Food Diagnostics(Blackwell Publishing--now Wiley). With M. Poschl, he coedited the book Radionuclide Concentrations in Foods and the Environment also published in 2006 (CRC Press).Dr. Nollet has also coedited with Y.H. Hui and other colleagues, several books: Handbook of Food Product Manufacturing (Wiley, 2007), Handbook of Food Science, Technology and Engineering (CRC Press, 2005), Food Biochemistry and Food Processing(first and second editions; Blackwell Publishing--now Wiley--2006 and 2012), and the Handbook of Fruits and Vegetable Flavors (Wiley, 2010).In addition, he edited the Handbook of Meat, Poultry and Seafood Quality, first and second editions, (Blackwell Publishing--now Wiley--2007 and 2012). From 2008 to 2011, he published with F. Toldrá five volumes on animal product-related books, namely, the Handbook of Muscle Foods Analysis, Handbook of Processed Meatsand Poultry Analysis, Handbook of Seafood and Seafood Products Analysis, Handbook of Dairy Foods Analysis, and Handbook of Analysis of Edible Animal By-Products. Also in 2011 with F. Toldrá, he coedited for CRC Press two volumes: Safety Analysis of Foods of Animal Origin and Sensory Analysis of Foods of Animal Origin. In 2012, they both published the Handbook of Analysis of Active Compounds in Functional Foods. In a coedition with Hamir Rathore, the book Handbook of Pesticides: Methods of Pesticides Residues Analysis was marketed in 2009, Pesticides: Evaluation of Environmental Pollution in 2012, and the Biopesticides Handbook in 2015. Other >n-ished book projects include Food Allergens: Analysis, Instrumentation, and Methods(with A. van Hengel; CRC Press, 2011) and Analysis of Endocrine Compounds in Food(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011).Dr. Nollet's recent projects include Proteomics in Foods with F. Toldrá (Springer, 2013) and Transformation Products of Emerging Contaminants in the Environment: Analysis, Processes, Occurrence, Effects and Risks w it h D. L a mbropou lou ( Wi ley, 2014). In this series, CRC Food Analysis & Properties, he edited with C. Ruiz-Capillas, Flow Injection Analysis of Food Additives (CRC Press, 2015) and Marine Microorganisms: Extraction and Analysis of Bioactive Compounds (CRC Press, 2016).
