Biological and Chemical Hazards in Food and Food Products Prevention Practices and Management

Biological and Chemical Hazards in Food and Food Products Prevention Practices and Management

This volume takes an in-depth look at various biological and chemical hazards in food and food products that pose health threats. It also outlines methods and practices for the diagnosis prevention and management of these hazards in food production processes. The new scientific research and case studies presented in the volume cover mycotoxins foodborne pathogens antibiotic residues from dairy animals pesticide residues the presence of heavy metals in food and more. Chapters also address food allergy management and offer lessons and practices in food recall situations. The authors discuss the various food toxins their sources as well as management mitigation and prevention strategies. Also addressed are the specific adverse effects on people with health problems such as diabetes hypertension cancer neurodegenerative diseases and more. This book is organized in such a way that each chapter treats one major food safety hazard and offers novel control methods for health food safety and quality enhancement through various means. Biological and Chemical Hazards in Food and Food Products: Prevention Practices and Management will aid researchers and policymakers as it illustrates the various aspects of food safety hazards and how to analyze and control these potential health threats. | Biological and Chemical Hazards in Food and Food Products Prevention Practices and Management

Lipase An Industrial Enzyme Through Metagenomics

Lipase An Industrial Enzyme Through Metagenomics

Microbial lipases are industrially important and have gained attention due to their stability selectivity and broad substrate specificity. Lipases are used as medicine and they also aid in indigestion heartburn allergy to gluten in wheat products (celiac disease) Crohn’s disease and cystic fibrosis. This volume considers the industrial demand for new sources of lipases with different catalytic characteristics that stimulate the isolation growth and development of new microbial strains. The volume narrates the challenging metagenomic approach with the isolation of the lipase gene its cloning into Escherichia coli culture of the recombinant bacteria and extraction and assessment of the lipase enzyme. Lipase-producing bacteria are available in different habitats such as industrial wastes vegetable oil processing factories dairy plants and soils contaminated with oil and oil seeds among others. This volume is the effort of the authors to document the scientific findings carried out over the last eight years in the area of un-culturable soil microorganisms. The book presents the physic-chemical features of lipases and their specific applications in different commercial industries. The in-depth study looks at metagenomics for lipases from all angles and provides a truly informative resource. It describes the biochemical characterization of lipase enzymes with the high activity in the presence of 1% tributyrin. A wide review has been presented in the book on lipase enzymes purified from a large collection of microbes present in soil seawater waste-dumping sites animal systems (including human beings) and the atmosphere. Stability of enzymes over changing environments of the industry is indeed a big issue and the book deals at length with the changing temperatures and pH and metal ion concentrations. | Lipase An Industrial Enzyme Through Metagenomics

Protective Armor Engineering Design

Protective Armor Engineering Design

There is increasing interest in the area of protective vests either for protection against bullets or protection from the most realistic threats within domestic frontline operations: edged weapon knives and medical needles. This volume addresses that need. This new book provides an in-depth survey of the state-of-the-art research and practical techniques in the area of protected fabrics especially stab-resistant and bulletproof fabrics. The book covers:• The history of protective armor: the long history of the art of protective armor manufacturing. • Materials used for body armor: the design and materials used for soft armor to increase its perforation-resistance utilizing high-performance fibers. • Anti-stab and anti-bullet armor design: the different design parameters required for the design of flexible armor in order to stop high-velocity projectiles. • The comfort of the body armor design: the flexibility thermal resistivity and evaporative moisture resistivity through the fabric. • Methods of testing the flexible body armors: testing the components of flexible body armor according to the level of the protection required such as NIJ Standards HOSDB Body Armour Standards for UK Police and the German SK1 Standard among others. Written by an expert in textile composite material engineering this volume fills an important gap in the area of protective fabric against stabbing or bullets and provides invaluable practical knowledge for body armor design. | Protective Armor Engineering Design
