Analysis of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds in Food provides
a unique and comprehensive professional reference source covering
most of the recent analytical methodology of endocrine disrupting
compounds in food. Editor Nollet and his broad team of
international contributors address the most recent advances in
analysis of endocrine disrupting chemicals in food. While covering
conventional (typically lab-based) methods of analysis, the book
focuses on leading-edge technologies that recently have been
introduced. The book looks at areas such as food quality assurance
and safety. Issues such as persistent organic pollutants,
monitoring pesticide and herbicide residues in food, determining
heavy and other metals in food and discussing the impacts of
dioxins, PCBs, PCDFs and many other suspected chemicals are
covered.
The book discusses the relationship between chemical compounds
and hormone activity. What are the health impacts of different
chemical compounds for men and animals? How are these compounds
entering in foodstuffs? Analysis of Endocrine Disrupting
Compounds in Food offers the food professional what its title
promises – a compendium of sample preparation and analysis
techniques of possible endocrine disrupting compounds in food.
Special Features:
* Uniquely concentrates on analysis and detection methods of EDCs
in foodstuffs
* Extensive coverage of the main types of globally available
analytical techniques and methodologies
* Fully detailed properties, sample procedures, and analysis
steps for each EDC
* Renowned editor Leo Nollet leads a broad team of international
experts
