Description
A comprehensive treatise on new developments in biotechnology, the authors of
Biotechnology and Safety Assessment, 3e,
bring readers an up-to-date review of food safety issues, pre-clinical safety and development of new foods and drugs, plant biotechnology,
food allergies and safety assessment, and consumer benefits with regard to genetically modified food.
Tomorrow's foods will be obtained
from genetically modified crops, offering consumers higher nutritional value and more of it. Our medications will be obtained through
a variety of biotechnological procedures yielding more potent and specific medications for diseases and vaccines. In order to make this
view of the future come to light, John A. Thomas and Roy L. Fuchs have updated their classic in order to keep readers one step ahead.
Written by internationally recognized molecular biologists, plant agronomists, microbiologists, toxicologists, nutritionists, and
regulatory authorities, this third edition is an excellent and authoritative resource, making it a valuable resource to any biomedical
library or scientific bookshelf.
Audience:
Toxicologists, phamacologists, regulatory agency professionals, environmental scientists, and agricultural scientists.
