This volume details comprehensive and practical methods for reachers engaged in the field of food safety and toxicity. Chapters are divided in to three parts focusing on food contaminant toxicity evaluation, analytical chemistry, in vitro and ex vivo toxicological approaches, and exposure assessment. Written in the format of the Methods and Protocols in Food Science series, chapters list necessary materials and methods for readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Food Contaminants Toxicity aims to be a valuable resource for advancing the science of food safety, improving public health outcomes, and fostering innovation in the assessment and control of food contaminants.
