Methods for identification and measurement of existing and newly discovered contaminants are required, especially those that are cheap, simple and rapid, so that testing may be more frequent within the food supply chain. This book examines the formation of toxic compounds during the processing of food and strategies to mitigate their creation. Modification of process conditions can reduce the health risks posed by these compounds to consumers. This new volume will update knowledge on current methods for mitigation of these process contaminants and is aimed at industrialists in food processing, academic researchers and graduate students studying food science and technology or food engineering.

Fossil carbon-based plastics are widely used for food and drink packaging due to their excellent mechanical properties and ability to ensure the safety and quality of the product, often for extended periods. However, these materials are an increasing cause for concern due to their detrimental impact on the environment and wildlife. This has driven an interest in the use of alternative non-fossil carbon bio-based materials for use in food contact applications and bio-based and biodegradable packaging materials have gained increased global attentionThis book explores the rapidly expanding range of bio-based materials being developed for use in food and drink packaging. The associated issues such as shelf-life performance, safety and sustainability, inclusion of nanosized or nanostructured materials, and active and intelligent packaging are considered, along with a focus on safety of these new food contact materials and their sustainability within a circular bioeconomy context. Recent developments enabling the replacement of non-biodegradable plastics used in horticulture and agriculture to reduce environmental contamination are also described.Driven by consumer demand, this comprehensive book is aimed at the global packaging market and will be of interest to policy makers, research students, industrialists and regulators looking for combined research on sustainable alternatives to fossil-based packaging materials.
