Food toxicology studies how natural or synthetic poisons and
toxicants in diverse food products cause harmful, detrimental, or
adverse side effects in living organisms. Food toxicology is an
important consideration as food supply chain is becoming more
multinational in origin, and any contamination or toxic
manifestation may cause serious, wide-spread adverse health
effects. Food Toxicology covers various aspects of food safety and
toxicology, including the study of the nature, properties, effects,
and detection of toxic substances in food and their disease
manifestations in humans. It will also include other aspects of
consumer product safety. The first two chapters discuss the
measurement of toxicants and toxicity and the importance of
dose-response in food toxicology. Additional chapters discuss the
aspects of food associated carcinogenesis and food-derived chemical
carcinogenesis, food allergy, pathogens associated with fruits and
vegetables, and the detrimental effects of radionuclides exposure.
The chapters also cover the most important heavy metal
contaminants, namely mercury, lead and vanadium, and Fluoride
toxicity, which is extensively discussed in its own chapter.
Toxicologists, scientists, researchers in food toxicology,
nutritionists, and public health care professionals will find
valuable information in this book on all possible intricate areas
of food toxicology.
