Food Product Optimization for Quality and Safety Control
Process, Monitoring, and StandardsThis new book discusses food quality and safety standards that are critically important for both developed and developing economies, where consumer safety is among the primary issues to be considered in food supply chain management. The editors consider that food safety is a multi-faceted subject, using microbiology, chemistry, standards and regulations, and risk management to address issues involving bacterial pathogens, chemical contaminants, natural toxicants, additive safety, allergens, and more; hence, the volume emphasizes the interrelationship between these areas and their equal importance in food production. With chapters from researchers from around the world, this book looks at critically important advances and topics in technology that has become indispensable in controlling hazards in the modern food industry. The varied topics include the role of mineral content of soils in food safety, microwaveassisted extraction of phenolic compounds, foodborne pathogenic anaerobes, enzymatic modification of ferulic acid content, and more.
