About this book

Biotechnology and Food Safety provides information pertinent to practical biotechnological procedures for detecting and quantifying microbial and chemical contaminants of food. This book focuses on the application of biotechnology to food safety. Organized into five parts encompassing 24 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the tools of biotechnology that have numerous applications throughout the food chain. This text then explains the safety and regulatory issues associated with foods and food ingredients from genetically modified sources. Other chapters explain some considerations regarding the risk of using biotechnology in food and food animal production versus the risks incurred by avoiding such use. This book discusses as well the federal laws governing food and food ingredients, which are rigorously administered and enforced by the Food and Drug Administration. The final chapter deals with the use of transgenic organisms in industry. This book is a valuable resource for molecular biologists, plant and animal physiologists and pathologists, parasitologists, microbiologists, toxicologists, and food scientists.
