Description

Present Knowledge in Food Safety: A Risk-Based Approach Through the Food Chain presents approaches for exposure-led risk assessment and the management of changes in the chemical, pathogenic microbiological and physical (radioactivity) contamination of ’food’ at all key stages of production, from farm to consumption. This single volume resource introduces scientific advances at all stages of the production to improve reliability, predictability and relevance of food safety assessments for the protection of public health. This book is aimed at a diverse audience, including graduate and post-graduate students in food science, toxicology, microbiology, medicine, public health, and related fields. The book's reach also includes government agencies, industrial scientists, and policymakers involved in food risk analysis.

Key Features

  • Includes new technologies such as nanotechnology, genetic modification, and cloning
  • Provides information on advances in pathogen risk assessment through novel and real-time molecular biological techniques, biomarkers, resistance measurement, and cell-to-cell communication in the gut
  • Covers the role of the microbiome and the use of surrogates (especially for viruses)

Readership

Professionals in the fields of public health, government regulation and policy, and food and agriculture production; Scholars and educators; Research scientists; Graduate and post-graduate coursework in the disciplines of food safety, food science, chemistry, microbiology, toxicology, agriculture, aquaculture, public health, pharmacy and nutrition
