Principles of food toxicology / by Tõnu Püssa. - [xix], 321 p.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
BASICS OF TOXICOLOGY CONNECTED TO FOOD. Introduction -- Routes of Xenobiotics in Organism -- Toxic Response -- Analytical Toxicology Determination of Foreign Compounds -- Evaluation of Toxicity of Substances -- Toxicological Safety and Risk Analysis -- Internet Sources of Toxicological Information -- MAIN GROUPS OF FOOD-BORNE TOXICANTS. Endogenous Plant Toxicants -- Geochemical Pollutants that a Plant Assimilates from Soil -- Environmental Pollutants -- Mycotoxins -- Animal Endogenous Toxins -- Food Toxins from Sea -- Pesticide Residues -- Veterinary Drugs and Feed Additives -- Toxicants Unintentionally Entering Food during Processing, Storage and Digestion -- Food Additives -- Vitamins -- Glossary.
"Principles of Food Toxicology combines an introduction to the general principles of toxicology with a useful and systematic characterization of food-borne toxicants. Material includes a thorough explanation of the biochemistry and chemistry required to understand toxicological principles. It provides detailed explanations of the mechanisms of toxic effect and medicinal consequences. Designed as a textbook for students in food science and technology, it also includes a comprehensive catalog of all of the most important food-borne toxicants, which make this resource an equally valuable reference guide for professional food scientists, manufacturers, and regulatory agency personnel."--Publisher description.
