Handbook of Plant and Animal Toxins in Food Occurrence Toxicity and Prevention

Handbook of Plant and Animal Toxins in Food Occurrence Toxicity and Prevention

The prevalence of naturally occurring toxins in plant and animal foods represents one of the most significant food safety issues drawing the attention of both scientists and regulators alike. This unexplored area related to food quality is indeed a big concern for consumers various regulatory authorities and food industries. Apart from essential nutrients several food crops are capable of producing a vast array of nonnutritious secondary metabolic products. These toxins produced as secondary metabolites have the potential to exhibit both beneficial and deleterious effects in both human beings and animals. Nevertheless there has been huge progress in agricultural practices and food processing technologies but still the number of nonnutritive substances and naturally derived toxins persist in our diet. Handbook of Plant and Animal Toxins in Food: Occurrence Toxicity and Prevention focuses on various selected toxins in foods derived from plants as well as animals. The prominent plant toxins include solanine and chaconine mushroom toxins phytates tannins oxalates goitrogens gossypol phytohemagglutinins erucic acid saponins cyanogenic glycosides enzyme inhibitors BOAA (lathyrogens) toxic amino acids and toxic fatty acids. The prominent animal toxins covered in the book include various seafood toxins shellfish toxins and biogenic amines.
