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.
