The advancement of technological interventions in food quality analysis and safety detection has to be inculcated among these beneficiaries. With a unique blend of both agriculture and animal food segments, this book is expected to occupy a distinct position among the various publications in the post harvest sector. The content of the book is useful both for those looking to begin food science careers and to established specialists. The various chapters define safety and quality aspects of plantation crops, the milling industry, meat, milk, water, fish, bakery, street foods, etc. The book also enlightens readers about the various hazards involved in the food supply chain, pre-requisite programmes, GMP, food safety management systems, and international trading issues. The PRP approach in food safety management systems has been elaborated in a comprehensible manner. Pre-requisite programmes, GAP, GMP and GHP to be implemented before HACCP in meat industry is well detailed in a chapter along with the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. The significance of these pre-requisite programmes for effective establishment of HACCP in meat processing are lucidly explained.Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Technological advances have profoundly influenced the food industry with deep imprints on food safety and quality. Food safety and quality assurance demands a huge expertise from food technologists and an enormous commitment from the food industry. An exquisite presentation of an array of novel technologies to guarantee safety and quality in the food supply chain of diverse food composites is an innovative venture to inspire students, to guide researchers and to persuade entrepreneurs.Chapters on oil and water quality, sensory analysis through fuzzy logic, hazards and their detection in milk, meat, fish and different agricultural produce accentuate the uniqueness of this book. Emerging technologies for non-destructive quality analysis, pragmatic approaches to ensure safety and quality in the milling and baking industry as well as a comprehensive sketch of regulatory norms for promoting exports are the notable highlights of this book. HACCP protocols pertinent to different food industries are vividly depicted. With an enriching academic background and proven experience, the authors of each chapter have contributed abundantly to uphold the promise of this book to be a robust pillar to promote a healthy society.Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Food safety and quality are matters of great international importance and are the responsibilities of food processors and governments within the global food supply chain. The advancements in technological interventions for food quality analysis and safety detection are significant. There is a long-standing demand from both the scientific and industrial communities for a comprehensive documentation that creates awareness, implements strategies, and fills the gaps in research and development related to the safety of both plant and animal-based foods. To address this need, it is essential that current procedures and protocols in the areas of safety and quality analysis and detection be presented in an easily accessible format for the benefit of students, analysts, and researchers.The background of the contributors to this book spans a range of disciplines, including Food Engineering, Post-harvest Technology, Food Technology, Food Microbiology, Meat Technology, Veterinary Public Health, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Food Packaging, and Quality Management, as well as Community Science. The book covers the most common and new techniques in food safety and quality analysis, addressing relevant issues in these areas. In addition to documenting the safety aspects of various food products, such as cereals, fruits and vegetables, milk, meat, fish, water, bakery, and confectionery, the book also addresses the rules, regulations, and certification associated with the food industry. We are confident that this book will be a valuable resource for both academia and industry in the food processing sector.
