Special Issue on Toxicants and Contaminants in Food

Xingmao-(Samuel)-Ma

Introduction

Toxicants and Contaminants in Food is a broad spectrum refers to the presence of the harmful natural toxins and chemicals produced during food manufacturing, and environmental contaminants. It is a significant subject that is emerging in the fields of analytical food toxicology, food safety, heavy metal contaminants, allergens, toxicology, and environmental contaminants. Toxicants and contaminants in the food and agricultural products can be originated from various different sources such as agrochemical residues, natural toxins, polluted environments, and produced toxic compounds during the food processing. The food toxicants and contaminants can give a significant and adverse impact on both public health and economic issue.

Topics

“Toxicants and Contaminants in Food” is a wide range significant topic, mainly focuses on the scientific work which associates with the natural toxins and all different groups of contaminants in foods.

This special issue is aimed to furnish opportunity for researchers/scholars/academicians to present their scientific work in the emerging world of food sector, on the following topics, toxicological effects on food contaminants, analytical method development, natural toxins in foods (animal, plant and marine sources), microbial toxins, food safety, microbiological risk, toxic contaminants from packaging materials, toxic heavy metals or metalloids, food security, pesticides, veterinary drug residues, as well as organic environmental pollutants.
