Download or read book Food Contaminants written by C Creaser and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1991-10-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains contributions based on the proceedings of two symposia on food contamination held in London in April 1989 and May 1990, both of which were organised jointly by the Environment, Food Chemistry and Toxicology Groups of the Royal Society of Chemistry. The aim of these meetings was to assess the extraneous chemical contamination of food from two sources: firstly, food-chain contaminants - the presence of plant toxicants of fungal metabolites in food, or the contamination of food from environmental sources (airborne, aquatic and terrestrial); and secondly, food-production contaminants - contaminants of man-made origin brought about by a desire to facilitate food production and distribution. The contributors concentrate on the contamination of food by chemicals arising from environmental and food-production sources. Chapter 1 is concerned with food-chain contaminants present in food as natural components of the diet. This is followed by discussion of the chlorinated dioxins and furans, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Following an introduction to the control and surveillance of food-production contaminants, four areas of activity are described: migration from food contact materials with particular reference to plastics, the analysis and regulatory control of veterinary products, the analysis of pesticides in drinking water and finally the problem of food taints.
Download or read book The Environment Animal Human Web A One Health View of Toxicological Risk Analysis written by Chiara Frazzoli and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Health (OH) is the conceptual and operational framework that links environment, food-producing organisms and human health. OH is a developing field, that deals with the multifaceted web of feed-backs and interactions among its components. In order to avoid “drowning into complexity”, priority issues should be identified, either for research and for risk analysis. To date OH approaches have frequently pivoted on infectious agents shared among animals and humans and the related problems, such as antibiotic resistance. Nevertheless, the OH scenarios include, and should increasingly include, environment-and-health problems. Food and environment do interact. Environment influences the living organisms that produce human food and, in the meanwhile, food production outputs influence the environmental quality; as for foods of animal origin, feed materials and practices are driving components of the environment-food interactions. In this book, we aimed at highlighting the importance of environment, chemical exposures and toxicological issues in the field of OH, as well as the need for multidisciplinary integration in order to support OH approaches into diseases prevention and health promotion.

Download or read book Mycotoxins in Foodstuffs written by Martin Weidenbörner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mycotoxin contamination of food occurs as a result of crop invasion by field fungi such as Fusarium spp., Alternaria spp., Aspergillus spp., and Penicillium spp., which start their growth while in storage (storage fungi). In the worst case, these fungi produce secondary metabolites called mycotoxins. They can be very harmful to humans and animals when for example they are consumed through food. Mycotoxins have various negative effects on several organs in humans and animals. The present book gives a basic overview of the main mycotoxins in food. It lists the predisposition of a foodstuff for mycotoxin contamination, the degree of contamination, concentration, and country of detection/origin for each case of mycotoxin contamination of food. Major updates to this second edition include: - More than 750 new publications concerning mycotoxins in foodstuffs (1665 literatures at all). - A single chapter overview of mycotoxin(s) in the corresponding foodstuff. - The co-occurrence of mycotoxins in a foodstuff has been listed where possible. - Numerical and alphabetical literature. - Organic and conventional foods of a publication have been listed separately where possible. - Numerous entries described in much greater detail. - Each analyzed foodstuff has a separate entry per year where possible.
