Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research

Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research

Minorities in Shark Sciences showcases the work done by Black Indigenous and People of Color around the world in the fields of shark science and conservation. Edited by three minority researchers it provides positive role models for the next generation. Highlighting new and important research done in the fields of biology ecology and evolution the book places emphasis on scientists with diverse backgrounds and expertise from around the world. The heart of this book is that community and minority voices are important (and have always been) to science regardless of diplomas/universities/accolades/western standards of academia. Despite the use of the term ‘Minorities’ most of the world’s population do not identify as white nor male and in fact all minorities together comprise the global majority of humans. For those in these historically underserved and underrepresented demographics it is meaningful to be highlighted and be given credit for their contributions. This book showcases to the world the many Black Indigenous People of Color and LGTBQ+ scientists leading marine conservation both in terms of scientific research and science communication. It has been shown in the literature that diversity in scientists creates diversity in thought which leads to innovation. Strong minority voices are exactly what is needed to bring greater attention to the conservation of sharks and this book illustrates innovative science by people who were historically excluded from STEM. It highlights the unique perspectives these scientists bring to their field that allow them to interact with stakeholders particularly in the areas of conservation and outreach. As we continue to amplify these often-forgotten voices through research outreach and engagement we hope to stimulate innovation and transformative change in the field of shark conservation and marine science. | Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research

Antimicrobials in Food

Antimicrobials in Food

Fifteen years have passed since the 3rd edition of Antimicrobials in Food was published. It was arguably considered the must-have reference for those needing information on chemical antimicrobials used in foods. In the years since the last edition the food industry has undergone radical transformations because of changes on several fronts. Reported consumer demands for the use of natural and clean-label antimicrobials have increased significantly. The discovery of new foodborne pathogen niches and potentially hazardous foods along with a critical need to reduce food spoilage waste has increased the need for suitable antimicrobial compounds or systems. Novel natural antimicrobials continue to be discovered and new research has been carried out on traditional compounds. These and other related issues led the editors to develop the 4th edition of Antimicrobials in Food. In the 4th edition the editors have compiled contemporary topics with information synthesized from internationally recognized authorities in their fields. In addition to updated information new chapters have been added in this latest release with content on the use of bacteriophages lauric arginate ester and various systems for antimicrobial encapsulation and delivery. Comprehensive revisions of landmark chapters in previous editions including naturally occurring antimicrobials from both animal and plant sources methods for determining antimicrobial activity new approaches to multifactorial food preservation or hurdle technology and mechanisms of action resistance and stress adaptation are included. Complementing these topics is new information on quantifying the capability of clean antimicrobials for food preservation when compared to traditional food preservatives and industry considerations when antimicrobials are evaluated for use in food manufacture. Features Covers all food antimicrobials natural and synthetic with the latest research on each type Contains 5 000+ references on every conceivable food antimicrobial Guides in the selection of appropriate additives for specific food products Includes innovations in antimicrobial delivery technologies and the use of multifactorial food preservation with antimicrobials
