The contents of this book are the proceedings of the ACS symposium,
"Fumonisins in Food," which was held April 4-6, 1995, at the
American Chemical Society National Meeting in Anaheim, CA. This
symposi"Qm, which was international in scope, brought together
researchers from diverse backgrounds in academia, government, and
industry. Thirty-three speakers discussed topics ranging from the
analysis offumonisins to toxicology and regulatory aspects. The
fumonisins became the spotlight of mycotoxin research in 1988, when
re searchers at the South African Medical Research Council isolated
and structurally charac terized the fumonisins. Since 1988, there
has been an explosion in the numbers of papers dealing with
fumonisin-related topics. The interest in the fumonisins has arisen
for several reasons. First, fumonisins are found in measurable
concentrations in corn grown throughout the world. Second, these
compounds have been implicated as the causative agents in a variety
of naturally occurring animal diseases. Finally, there is
speCUlation that fumonisins may in part be responsible for the high
incidence of esophageal cancer in regions of the world in which
corn is the staple grain."
Mycotoxins, from the Greek "mukes" referring to fungi or slime
molds and toxin from the Latin "toxicum" referencing a poison for
arrows, have earned their reputation for being potentially
deleterious to the health and well being of a consuming organism,
whether it be animal or human. Unfortunately, mycotoxins are a
ubiquitous factor in the natural life cycle of food producing
plants. As such, control of the potential impact of mycotoxins on
food safety relies heavily upon accurate analysis and surveys
followed by commodity segregation and restricted use or
decontamination through processing. The purpose of this book is to
provide the most comprehensive and current information on the topic
of mycotoxins and assuring food safety. Chapters represented in the
book reflect such diverse topics ranging from occurrence and
impact, analysis, reduction through processing and plant breeding,
toxicology and safety assessments to regulatory perspectives.
Authors represent a range of international perspectives.

The study of the properties, effects and levels of dietary fibre in
foods has achieved great importance in nutrition and food
technology during the 1980s. Recently the Congress of the United
States enacted legislation which makes compulsory the labelling for
dietary fibre in foods. With this in mind, the authors have written
a short book detailing the history and properties of food fibre,
the evaluation of the current methods used in the measurement of
dietary fibre and the method of choice (AOAC Method) in the
measurement of dietary fibre, with discussion of the marketing of
dietary fibre products, including additives. Accompanying the text
are tables of food values for dietary fibre obtained by the use of
the AOAC Method of analysis in a variety of laboratories in the
United States and abroad. This book should be of interest to food
scientists and technologists; R&D personnel and managers in the
food processing industry; government regulatory personnel; and
nutritionists.

Sprouted Grains: Nutritional Value, Production and Applications is
a complete and comprehensive overview of sprouted grains, with
coverage from grain to product. Sections includes discussions on
the process of grain germination from both a genetic and
physiological perspective, the nutrients and bioactive compounds
present in spouted grains, and the equipment and technical
innovation of use to manufacturers of sprouted grains and sprouted
grain products. This book is essential reading for cereal science
academics and postgraduate students interested in the subject of
cereal processing, but is also ideal for industrial product
developers in cereal companies. This edited volume brings together
the world's leading researchers on sprouted grains.
