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.
Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Bioactive Natural Products 2018
Throughout most of history, medicinal plants and their active metabolites have represented a valuable source of compounds used to prevent and to cure several diseases. Interest in natural compounds is still high as they represent a source of novel biologically/pharmacologically active compounds. Due to their high structural diversity and complexity, they are interesting structural scaffolds that can offer promising candidates for the study of new drugs, functional foods, and food additives. Plant extracts are a highly complex mixture of compounds and qualitative and quantitative analyses are necessary to ensure their quality. Furthermore, greener methods of extraction and analysis are needed today. This book is based on articles submitted for publication in the Special Issue entitled “Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Bioactive Natural Products” that collected original research and reviews on these topics.
Cannabis Genomics, Breeding and Production
R. Backer provided editorial input and coordinated much of the development of the Research Topic and the editorial activities associated with it. She also wrote the first draft of the editorial manuscript and managed the final development of this paper.
Food Industry
Due to the increase in world population (more than seven billion inhabitants) the global food industry has the largest number of demanding and knowledgeable consumers. This population requires food products that fulfill the high quality standards established by the food industry organizations. Food shortages threaten human health, and also the disastrous extreme climatic events make food shortages even worse. This collection of articles is a timely contribution to issues relating to the food industry. The objective of this book is to provide knowledge appropriate for students, university researchers, and in general, for anyone wishing to obtain knowledge of food processing and to improve the food product quality.
Recent Advances in the Science of Cannabis
Recent Advances in the Science of Cannabis describes progress in a variety of significant areas of cannabis science. This unique book covers topics in cultivation and secondary metabolites, aroma and chemotypes, cannabinoid structures, physiology and pharmacology, as well as the development of unique topical products. State-of-the-art analytical methods and instrumentation are covered, including current developments in mass spectrometry and chromatography, as well as microbial testing. Given the popularity of smoking and vaporizing cannabis, the chemistry of vaping cannabinoid and terpene concentrates is also presented, along with emerging regulatory issues. Key Features: A guide to emerging...
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.
Recent Advances in Cannabinoid Research
Scientific interest in cannabinoid research is currently experiencing a significant increase because of changing attitudes toward Cannabis and the evolving awareness of its pharmaceutical benefits. Coincidently, numerous jurisdictions are moving toward legalizing Cannabis and Cannabis-derived products, which reflects a larger global movement to understand Cannabis and its bioactive chemicals for their potential biomedical uses, harms, and economic value. Research activities are surging to fill important knowledge gaps in the field of cannabinoids as they continue to be identified. The purpose of this book is to summarize some leading areas of research in the cannabinoid field where knowledge gaps are actively being addressed. The research described herein spans basic biological and clinical research.
Chemical agriculture and pollinators: signs of a Planet in danger
Bees, that have inhabited the Planet for over 100 million years, are the common thread that tells the story of various ecological challenges such as the reduction of biodiversity, climate change, soil degradation, and energy transition. Paradoxically, agriculture is one of the major causes of irreversible and, therefore, unsustainable changes such as global warming and the extinction of pollinators from which it derives its benefits and wealth. The massive use of fossil fuels, the distribution of poisons such as pesticides (persistent, toxic, and bioaccumulative), the loss of fertility in monocultures of plants selected to satisfy economic needs, are some of the main causes of an ecologically unsustainable food production system. The book tries to show a different vision of the World we are building, a story of backstories and underestimated dangers. This book received two prizes: "Steli di Pace" (Stems of Peace) by the Union of European Journalists and Communicators in 2023 and it was the winner of the "Concorso Nazionale per la divulgazione scientifica Kerit-LC Edizioni" (National Competition for science dissemination) in 2024.
C'è chimica in casa
Secondo un sondaggio condotto in otto Paesi europei, Italia compresa, il 39% delle persone vorrebbe vivere in un mondo senza sostanze chimiche. «Chimica», in effetti, è una brutta parola. Eppure, l'aria che respiriamo, l'acqua che beviamo, tutto ciò che vediamo, tocchiamo, odoriamo è fatto di chimica. Persino noi. Dunque che fare di fronte a questa paura irrazionale? Ruggero Rollini ha provato a disinnescarla nel modo più semplice, ovvero mostrando al lettore che i fenomeni che ci circondano sono un universo tutt'altro che ostile, animato dalle stesse leggi che fondano la natura. Supportato dalle ricerche sul campo, passa in rassegna le applicazioni più comuni della chimica nella quot...
Toxicologia: uma abordagem multidisciplinar - Volume II
Desde os períodos mais remotos, nas civilizações primitivas, substâncias presentes na natureza eram utilizadas para fins diversos, como a caça e extermínio de inimigos. Com a evolução da humanidade, muitos esforços têm sido feitos para o avanço no conhecimento acerca do uso seguro de substâncias presentes em diversos contextos da vida, através da identificação e caracterização do potencial tóxico e das condições de exposição a estas substâncias que podem repercutir em perigo para os seres vivos. Deste modo, o objetivo principal destes avanços consiste em prevenir agravos relacionados ao contato ou exposição com substâncias potencialmente tóxicas. Em nosso cotidian...
