Topics covered in this volume include the sources and occurrence of nano/microplastics in terrestrial/marine environments, release mechanisms of microplastics from packaging into foods, influencing factors of microplastic on food products, their translocation and accumulations potential, microplastic as a critical vector for pollutant transfer, toxicology impact, cycling in the marine environment and seafood safety, and more.
Moreover, microplastic migration by enhancing public awareness as well as improving waste management, complications and toxicity associated with the presence of nano/microplastics and quantification methods are highlighted. Finally, existing regulations and requirements of a robust framework of nano/microplastics are provided.
- Presents precise reviews from selected specialists on the topic of nano/micro-plastics toxicity on food quality and food safety
- Provides valuable visual material, making it easier for readers
- Covers the latest insights and future research recommendations on nano/micro-plastics toxicity on food quality
- Includes standardization methods for the collection, characterization and analysis of nano/micro-plastics toxicity for food safety and human health
Academics and researchers (food science, food technologists, chemists, nutritionists, toxicologist, biotechnologists, etc.), through the food industry elements (food engineers, food processing developers/managers in food packaging and preservation, food hazards, food safety, food preservation, food quality control, etc.) and to the persons in general with interest in all these fields united by a common denominator: nano/micro-plastics toxicity on food quality and food safety research. Additionally, this volume will be of interest to students at different levels (B.Sc., M.Sc. and PhD.)
