The levels of toxic and microbial contamination in the food and
environment are influenced by harvesting or slaughtering
technologies and by the processes applied during food manufacture.
With current cultivation methods, it is impossible to guarantee the
absence of pesticides and pathogenic microorganisms in raw foods,
both of plant and animal origin. Widespread and increasing
incidence of foodborne diseases and the resulting social and
economic impact on the world population have brought food and
environmental safety to the forefront of ecological safety and
public health concerns. The emerging field of advanced materials
based on functional architectures offers potential solutions to
some of the key performance challenges along with the improved
sensitivity, longevity, stability, miniaturization and ruggedness,
while reducing complexity and production cost. The overall purpose
of this book is to generate new solutions to the technical
challenges in easy and rapid detections of food toxicants,
microorganisms and environmental pollutants. The book focuses on
the role of advanced materials in the food, water and environmental
applications. The monitoring of harmful organisms and toxicants in
water, food and beverages is mainly discussed in the respective
chapters. The senior contributors write on the following topics:
Layered double hydroxides and environmentCorrosion resistance of
aluminium alloys of silanesNew generation material for the removal
of arsenic from waterPrediction and optimization of heavy clay
