Using the Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) format, this book covers key areas in food safety: detection of low level chemical residues, pesticide analysis using chromatographic techniques, and the revealing of mycotoxins and chemical contaminants in packaging.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This book promises to include regulations that drive inspection and measurement globally, to review the state-of-the-art for measuring contaminants in food, and to feature key tips and implementation advice from experts in the field. ... there is much excellent content in this book that will certainly be of use to those applying mass spectrometry to solve various problems related to food safety." (Simon Hird, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 403 (2), April, 2012)

"The book is rightly opened by an overview of the European union regulations, the area where the most up-to-date regulations have been developed. ... histo- and cytochemists involved with human and veterinary health topics will benefit from reading this book where a special attention is payed to the chronic toxicity exposures that occur when food quality is not of the highest level." (CarloAlberto Redi, European Journal of Histochemistry, Vol. 56, 2012)
