An increasing number of genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
continues to be produced every day. In response to the concerns
raised by the development of GMOs and their incorporation in foods
and feed, guidelines and regulations to govern and control the use
of GMOs and their products have been enacted. These regulations
necessitated the design of methods to detect and analyse the
presence of GMOs or their products in agriculture produce, food and
feed production chains. Design of techniques and instruments that
would detect, identify, and quantify GM ingredients in food and
feed will help inspection authorities to relay reliable information
to consumers who might be concerned about the presence of GM
ingredients. Information generated by detection of GMOs in food and
feed would be helpful for setting regulations that govern the use
of GM components as well as for labeling purposes. Qualitative
detection methods of GM-DNA sequences in foods and feeds have
evolved fast during the past few years. There is continuous need
for the development of more advanced multi-detection systems and
for periodic updates of the databases related to these systems.
Testing and Analysis of GMO-containing Foods and Feed presents
updates and comprehensive views on the various methods and
techniques in use today for the detection, identification and
quantification of GMOs in foods and feed. The eleven book chapters
cover recent developments on sample preparation techniques,
immunoassays methods and the PCR technique used in GMO analysis,
the use of biosensors in relation to GMO analysis, the application
of nucleic acid microarrays for the detection of GMOs, validation
and standardization methods for GMO testing, in addition to the
type of reference material and reference methods used in GMO
testing and analysis. Some of the ISO standards designed for
identifying and detecting the presence of GM material in foods are
also presented in the book.
