Given the ways in which the research pressures on university staff are becoming seemingly ever greater, an issue of the European Journal of Marketing that is given over to a survey of the kinds of research initiatives which are currently being carried out is timely.

Compositional control now appears as more of a closely knit field of its own, keeping pace with the advances of food processing, new methods and raw materials.
