Carryover Toxins in Processed Foods

Carryover Toxins in Processed Foods: Toxicity, Detection and Mitigation

discusses the chemicals that form during various processing methods such as thermal, fermentation, and irradiation and how to mitigate risks to human health.

From novel detection methods to innovative processing techniques, this book defines the chemistry and concepts of carryover toxins, from their classification, toxicity, and production to precursor, reaction, and environmental conditions.

Sections also provide information on quality assurance and regulatory aspects and explain analysis methods to determine carryover toxins in food products.

Toxicity, occurrence, and sensorial impact for heavy metals, genetically modified organisms, nanomaterials and some seasonings are also discussed.
