Food Contaminants and Residue Analysis

Food Contaminants and Residue Analysis treats different aspects of the analysis of contaminants and residues in food. The content and the problems of the analysis. This is followed by the EU and USA regulations. Topics, such as chromatography, mass chromatography, liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and others; immunoassays, and biosensors. A wide range of toxic contaminants and residues, from pesticides to mycotoxins or dioxins are examined, including polychlorinated biphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, N-nitrosamines, heterocyclic amines, acrylamide, semicarbazide, phtalates and food packing migrating substances. This book can be found in the context of this problem.
Logically structured and with numerous examples Food and beverage chemists, biologists, biochemists, microbiologists, food chemists, toxicologists, chemists , agronomists, hygienist, and everybody who need to use the analytical techniques for evaluating food safety.
