The development of recombinant DNA methods has changed the face of
the food industry over the last 50 years. Crops which have been
genetically modified are being cultivated in more and more
countries and this process is likely to accelerate as desirable
traits are identified and transferred to appropriate organisms, and
they are cleared by the regulatory authorities. However, the
technique has its critics who claim that modification of the genome
of the plant (or animal) in this way may pose unknown and
unacceptable risks to the human consumer. Genetic Modification and
Food Quality: A Down to Earth Analysis is the first comprehensive
text on how GM production methods influence the quality of foods
and feeds, based on a complete and unbiased assessment of the
scientific findings. It presents a balanced analysis of the
benefits and drawbacks of gene-modified food sources in the human
diet. Chapters approach the topic with regard to different food
types such as cereal grains, oilseed crops, vegetables, fish and
animal products. Assessing the nutritive value as well as the
health and safety of GMO foods, this book is a reference for anyone
working in the food production industry and will also be of an
interest to NGOs, trade associations and consumers who are looking
for an objective, balanced study of this contentious issue.
