Food toxicology: current advances and future challenges

Food Toxicology: Current Advances and Future Challenges covers a selection of important research in the multifaceted field of food toxicology. With more than seven billion people in the world today and counting, advances in food toxicology have a direct bearing on food safety issues that are of concern to all humanity for the foreseeable future. Massive globalization, industrialization, and commercialization have affected every aspect of food production, the food supply chain, and food consumption. This informative volume offers the global perspectives of scientists in important areas related to biomarkers and nanosensors in food toxicology, toxicology of nanomaterials, chemicals in sanitation and packaging, additives, mycotoxins, endocrine disruptors, radionuclides, toxic metals, and waste-burning residues in food. The book emphasizes regulatory toxicology and includes an interesting example case study. The volume covers a selection of important topics, including biomarkers in food toxicology, toxicity of ingested nanomaterials, safety evaluation of chemicals used in food and beverage processing and packaging, developmental neurotoxicity considerations for food additive safety, mycotoxins, endocrine-disrupting chemicals in foodstuffs, metal toxicity in foods, toxicological risks of waste-burning residues, regulation and monitoring of pesticide residues in water and food. The challenge of sustainable and safe food for everyone needs a multidisciplinary and multi-sectorial approach in related industries and governments alike. Food chemical safety is an underappreciated aspect of consumer safety. This volume seeks to help fill the gap. It provides informative research for food scientists and researchers and many others.
