Recent advances in array-based detectors and imaging technologies
have provided high throughput systems that can operate within a
substantially reduced timeframe and other techniques that can
detect multiple contaminants at one time. These technologies are
revolutionary in terms of food safety assessment in manufacturing,
and will also have a significant impact on areas such as public
health and food defence. This book summarizes the latest research
and applications of sensor technologies for online and high
throughput screening of food. The book first introduces high
throughput screening strategies and technology platforms, and
discusses key issues in sample collection and preparation. The
subsequent chapters are then grouped into four sections: Part I
reviews biorecognition techniques; Part II covers the use of
optical biosensors and hyperspectral imaging in food safety
assessment; Part III focuses on electrochemical and mass-based
transducers; and finally Part IV deals with the application of
these safety assessment technologies in specific food products,
including meat and poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables.
Technical Career Survival Handbook: 100 Things You Need To Know
provides the information needed to survive a technical career,
enabling prospective technical career candidates and those
currently in technical careers to explore all technical education
possibilities, industries, disciplines, and specialties. This
handbook better equips the reader to deal with the tough situations
and decisions they have to make throughout their career. Topics
include preparing for the workforce, employment challenges, and
dealing with on the job situations. This book is a practical
guidebook for scientists, engineers, and technicians who apply the
principles of science and mathematics to develop practical
solutions to technical problems.
