Environmental contaminants in food
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"The global ecosystem that forms our environment impacts on our lives in many different ways. These impacts are not necessarily negative but, on occasion, chemicals, toxins, bacteria, viruses and other contaminants enter our food from the environment, representing an unwelcome contamination of food and drink. In this volume, authors consider activities devoted to ensuring that the input of contaminants from the environment is minimised. Chapters deal with methods of modern instrumental analysis, with a wide range of contaminants, with risk assessment, and, uniquely, with sensory assessment and tainting."--BOOK JACKET. "This is a book for food scientists and technologists, ingredients suppliers, packaging technologists, quality assurance personnel, analytical chemists, public analysts, microbiologists and environmental health scientists."--Jacket.
