Soil and Water Pollution Monitoring, Protection and Remediation
This book details the state-of-the art in early warning monitoring of anthropogenic pollution of soil and water. It is unique with regard to its complex, multidisciplinary, mechanistic approach. Top scientists establish links and strengthen weak connections between specific fields in biology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, toxicology, sensoristics, soil science and hydrogeology.
Adulteration Analysis of Some Foods and Drugs
Adulteration refers to the practice of altering food or pharmaceutical content to reduce production costs. Factors affecting this practice include market forces such as easy availability of food adulterants, bargaining power of consumers and large demand and supply gaps which incentivize such practices. Technological advancements in chemical analysis now help us to identify adulterated food and drugs more easily. Adulteration Analysis of Some Foods and Drugs is a sourcebook describing analytical methodologies for the determination of adulterants in different food items (milk, honey, juice) and drugs (dietary supplements, sildenafil and specific plant extracts). Additional chapters give guidelines for analyzing a food or drug sample. This book is suitable for researchers working in the field of analytical chemistry for the determination of adulterants. The concise and organized presentation of the contents also serves to enhance the level of knowledge of students undertaking food and drug safety / quality control training courses.
Food Toxicants Analysis
Food Toxicants Analysis covers different aspects from the field of analytical food toxicology including emerging analytical techniques and applications to detect food allergens, genetically modified organisms, and novel ingredients (including those of functional foods). Focus will be on natural toxins in food plants and animals, cancer modulating substances, microbial toxins in foods (algal, fungal, and bacterial) and all groups of contaminants (i.e., pesticides), persistent organic pollutants, metals, packaging materials, hormones and animal drug residues. The first section describes the current status of the regulatory framework, including the key principles of the EU food law, food safety...
Yeast Strain Selection
Contributors from universities and food, pharmaceutical, and brewing companies detail the current state of yeast strain development and handling, highlighting advances in yeast selection for academic research, industry, and recombinant DNA technology. Featuring the use of Saccharomyces and other yea
Threats to Food and Water Chain Infrastructure
vi of a large number of people due to the enormous quantities of radioactive material that would be required to reach high levels of contamination in mass-produced or distributed supplies. Although, based on data presented at the Workshop concerning the more than 30,000 missing radioactive sources all over the word, the radioactive contamination of food or water is also a scenario that must be taken seriously into consideration. During the last two decades there have been several emerging hazards linked to animal diseases or originating in animal products for example: Avian Influenza (AI), Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), West Nile Fever, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and ...
Trace Elements as Contaminants and Nutrients
Access state-of-the-art research about trace element contamination and its impact on human health in Trace Elements as Contaminants and Nutrients: Consequences in Ecosystems and Human Health. In this ground-breaking guide, find exhaustive evidence of trace element contamination in the environment with topics like the functions and essentiality of trace metals, bioavailability and uptake biochemistry, membrane biochemistry and transport mechanisms, and enzymology. Find case studies that will reinforce the fundamentals of mineral nutrition in plants and animals and current information about fortified foods and nutrient deficiencies.
Pseudocereals
Pseudocereals: Production, Processing, and Nutrition provides an overview of the chemistry, processing, and technology of pseudocereals which have become super grains. The cultivation of pseudocereals has spread to over 70 different countries due to their attractive nutritional properties and for food security. This book discusses necessary information on different pseudocereals as well as practical information on cultivation procedures, equipment, food processing using pseudocereals and the use of by-products for bioactive compound extraction. It addresses concerns regarding globalization, food security, climate change and the needs of underdeveloped or developing countries. Key Features: Covers both common as well as less exploited pseudocereals Explains the grain structure and engineering properties of different pseudocereals Studies the effect of food processing on the bioactivity and nutritional value of pseudocereals and their products
Bioremediation and Phytoremediation
Human health and wildlife are both affected by environmental contaminants. Plant-based bioremediation offers a cost-effective, non-intrusive, and natural alternative to chemical contamination by using plants and associated soil microbes to help reduce contaminants and their effects on the environment. This new volume provides an informative overview of the emerging issues related to bioremediation and phytoremediation. The author explains key concepts and aspects that underlie environmental awareness that have resulted in regulatory measures aimed at rectifying past mistakes and at protecting the environment from future contamination and exploitation. The book goes on to discuss alternative technologies for the removal of pollutants from the environment, restoring contaminated sites, and preventing further pollution using bioremediation. The multitude of bioremediation and phytoremediation technologies and methods covered include biochar for remediation, cyanobacteria, biosensors and bioindicators, rhizoremediation, and plant tissue culture studies.
