This is a work on the role of fungi in processed and unprocessed foods. In addition to offering practical and applied information on fungi associated with food and beverages this second edition now covers poisonous mushrooms. Topics include water activity, specific commodities, fungi and metabolities as human dietary components, health hazards and mycotoxin producers, and mycotoxin and fungal contaminant detection.
This Web site is an electronic version of the book Nutrient requirements of mink and foxes, revised by the Board on Agriculture in 1982. Visitors can get information on these fur-bearing species and discover why foxes were raised commercially earlier than mink and what nutritional requirements are needed for commercial coat value. Much of the information that is available relates to the growth period for young and pelted mink.
The aim of this book is to assemble detailed information relating to foodborne pathogens in order to make it readily accessible to those who wish to employ the HACCP system for the control of microbial hazards. The book is concerned solely with foodborne pathogens and does not discuss spoilage organisms. Each chapter provides a general survey of a foodborne pathogen, with appropriate referencing to authoritative review material. Reviews the history and the occurrence of the organism in nature as well as its taxonomy. Discusses the symptoms (but not the treatment) of the relevant foodborne disease syndrome(s), as well as the mechanism of pathogenicity. Consideration is given to the available ...
Food Safety 1990: An Annotated Bibliography of the Literature is an annotated bibliography containing literature on food safety and foodborne diseases that were published during the latter half of 1989 and the first half of 1990. Around 2,000 scientific journals are surveyed and articles from over 400 sources are included in this volume. The book is divided into three parts. Part I discusses topics about the relationship between diet and health such as the correlation of diet and diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the other effects of diet on health. Part II covers the different safety measures to be observed in the preparation of food, as well as the effects of food toxicity and contamination. Part III tackles the diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and parasites found in food. The text is recommended for food technologists, nutritionists, and health personnel who would like to know more about food safety and its advances.
This essential reference emphasizes the molecular and mechanistic aspects of food microbiology in one comprehensive volume. • Addresses the field's major concerns, including spoilage, pathogenic bacteria, mycotoxigenic molds, viruses, prions, parasites, preservation methods, fermentation, beneficial microorganisms, and food safety. • Details the latest scientific knowledge and concerns of food microbiology • Offers a description of the latest and most advanced techniques for detecting, analyzing, tracking, and controlling microbiological hazards in food. • Serves as significant reference book for professionals who conduct research, teach food microbiology courses, analyze food samples, conduct epidemiologic investigations, and craft food safety policies.
A discussion of all aspects of safe food handling, encompassing the production of all varieties of foods by the processing and foodservice industries, where risk factors are likely to occur, and what can be done to prepare food safely. It examines categories of foods, places where food is served, and groups of food consumers. The text also lists sources of food safety information available on the Internet.

This volume brings together 63 papers dealing with chemical, biochemical, sensory, microbiological, nutritional, technological and analytical aspects of foods for human consumption. The information presented is of considerable interest to all researchers, analysts, nutritionists, manufacturers, packagers, etc., involved in the perennial effort to gain more insight into the correlation between food science and human nutrition. (Limitation of space allows only a selection of papers to be mentioned).
Fermented food can be produced with inexpensive ingredients and simple techniques and makes a significant contribution to the human diet, especially in rural households and village communities worldwide. Progress in the biological and microbiological sciences involved in the manufacture of these foods has led to commercialization and heightened int
