Novel Chemical, Microbiological and Physical Approaches In Food Safety Control, volume II
One of the most important emerging aspects that requires further research in food safety is the simultaneous presence of different contaminants (both microbiological and chemical) in the same food, the so-called “cocktail effect”. Large amounts of data are needed for these evaluations, since the huge number of interactions among different contaminants, which maybe hypothesized, have to be statistically evaluated before confirming an effective risk. Moreover, the range of food to take into account within these studies is very wide. In order to obtain comprehensive datasets, new approaches are needed. These approaches, composed of new analytical procedures, microbiological protocols and chemical/physical determinations, should allow the quick and economic obtainment of many parameters, possibly respecting the environment, in the “green chemistry” perspective.
Food Safety
This book is an updated reference source on food safety best practices. The chapters discuss analytical approaches to measuring food contaminants, quality control and risk assessment of food storage, food irradiation, etc. The contributors discuss how quality control and management help to establish sustainable and secure food systems globally. The book covers topics such as techniques to measure food contaminants, toxins, heavy metals and pesticide content in food. FEATURES Examines the role of food safety approaches in global food supply chains Describes various detection techniques for food contaminants and toxins Discusses the application of nanotechnology and other innovations in food safety and risk assessment Reviews the international regulations for management of food hazards Includes the hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP) principles This book is an essential resource to help students, researchers, and industry professionals understand and address day-to-day problems regarding food contamination and safety and their impact on human health.
Nitrate Handbook
Nitrate Handbook: Environmental, Agricultural, and Health Effects provides an overview of the entire nitrate cycle and the processes influencing nitrate transformation. It clearly identifies the role of nitrate as an essential nutrient in plant growth, food preservation, and human health. Using the most up-to-date knowledge and research, this handbook illustrates how the steadily increasing human population and demand for food, which results in higher amounts of nitrate needed by soils, makes new regulations on the management and usage of nitrates a high priority. A detailed explanation concerning the discrepancies between the public’s perception of nitrate’s harm versus the reality of i...
Geography, Institutions and Regional Economic Performance
The book aims to present “traditional features” of regional science (as geographical concepts and institutions), as well as relatively new topics such as innovation and agglomeration economies. In particular it demonstrates that, contrary to what has been argued by recent economics literature, both geography and institutions (or culture) are relevant for local development. In fact, these phenomena, along with the movement of goods and workers, are among the main reasons for persisting development differentials. These intriguing relationships are at the heart of the analysis presented in this book and form the conceptual basis for a promising institutional approach to economic geography.
