This work reflects development in plant cell and tissue culture technology, with special emphasis on its application for food ingredient production. Topics include plant metabolic pathway studies, process development for improving yields, and bioreactor design and operation for large-scale production. Economic considerations and issues related to the commercial development of culture-derived food ingredients, as well as safety assessment schemes and regulatory frameworks set up by regulatory agencies around the world are also included.

This book is developed from the Symposium "Plant Cell and Tissue Culture for Food Ingredient Production" which was held on April 13-17, 1997 at the American Chemical So­ ciety National Meeting in San Francisco, CA.

Consumers and other food safety professionals will also benefit from information on food allergen control measures that have been put in place across the food chain.
