Description

Aptamers for Food Applications: Safety, Authenticity, and Integrity outlines the main applications of aptamers to ensure food safety, quality and compliance that are crucial for food science, public health and human sustainability. Aptamers or aptamer-based analytical devices are comprehensively summarized to tackle various food contamination or food adulteration problems. Topics covered in this book include aptamers for foodborne microbial pathogens, pesticide or veterinary drug residues, heavy metals, biotoxins, abused food additives, illegal food adulterants, POPs, GMOs, food allergens and food contact material migrants.

It is therefore of interest for not only analytical investigators and food safety inspectors, but also regulatory practitioners and risk assessors in various food science and research fields.

Key features

  • Presents the versatilities of aptamers for food safety, quality and compliance
  • Provides utilities of aptamers for the analysis of almost all risk factors in foodstuffs
  • Includes food quality control and regulatory measures such as HACCP, MRLs, proficiency test and uncertainty assessment, along with case illustrations

Readership

Food analytical scientists, Food Analytical chemists, Food safety/quality inspectors, Bio-analytical researchers, Food policy regulators, Food quality control specialists, Graduate students, University teachers
