Description

Carryover Toxins in Processed Foods: Toxicity, Detection and Mitigation discusses the chemicals that form during various processing methods such as thermal, fermentation, and irradiation and how to mitigate risks to human health. From novel detection methods to innovative processing techniques, this book defines the chemistry and concepts of carryover toxins, from their classification, toxicity, and production to precursor, reaction, and environmental conditions. Sections also provide information on quality assurance and regulatory aspects and explain analysis methods to determine carryover toxins in food products. Toxicity, occurrence, and sensorial impact for heavy metals, genetically modified organisms, nanomaterials and some seasonings are also discussed.

Key features

  • Presents the carry-over toxins that form in food products during processing
  • Summarizes carry-over toxins created via food additives and packaging
  • Overviews the carry-over toxins developed during the storage time in food products
  • Discusses the analysis methods to detect and identify carry-over toxins

Readership

Researchers working across the food sciences in the fields food safety, food technology, nutrition, and hygiene-related fields

Introduction: Carry-through toxins (CTTs) and carry-over toxins (COTs) in food products (in Agri-food system)

Section 1. COTs in food products: classification, toxicity, production (precursor, reaction, environmental conditions), mitigation and sensorial impact.

1. COTs produced/leaked during processing (process-induced)

1.1. Thermal processing Acrylamide (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Acroleine (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Dietary furan and glycidol furan (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and related compounds (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Maillard reaction products such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs) (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Chloropropanols and chloroesters (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Methylimidazoles (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Benzo[a]pyrene (BP) (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact)

1.2. Irradiation including UV and Gama processing

1.3. Alkali/Acid treatments D-amino acids (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Lysinoalanine (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Chloropropanols (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact)

1.4. Fermentation Biogenic amines (histamine, saxitoxin, tetrodotoxin,) (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Ethyl carbamate (Orethan) (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Acetaldehyde (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact) Allergens (toxicity, production, mitigation, sensorial impact)

1.5. Novel technologies High pressure processing

2.5. Potable water

2.6. Seasonings

3. COTs Added via packaging

3.1. Added during packaging process via faulty packaging technologies

3.2. Migrated from packaging material during storage time

4. COTs produced or developed during the storage time (after distribution until the retail sale and consumption)

4.1. Chemical contaminants

4.2. Microbial contaminants (cross contamination)

Section 2. Quality assurance and regulatory aspects for reduction of COTs
