Full Description

Challenges and Trends in Food Safety: Contamination, Public Health, and Control Measures provides a comprehensive review of the most recent available knowledge about microbiological, chemical and physical risks associated with food consumption. The book also provides a useful future outlook of new trends, and advanced and novel technologies for ensuring food safety and food security. Divided into five sections, the title covers the systems leading to food contamination, food science in service of food security and public health in the first section. Biological hazards and threats for food safety and effective control measures are covered in the second section, while the third one discusses the chemical hazards of food and effective control measures. The fourth section covers physical hazards of food and effective control measures and the final section brings practical solutions, future trends and advanced technologies for ensuring food safety. Edited by a team of experts in the field of Food Safety, Microbilogy and Defense, this book is an ultimate reference, serving as a guide to elaborate on food contamination from various aspects.
