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.
