Academic Press Safety and Regulatory Issues of Nanoencapsulated Food Ingredients: Volume 7 (Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry, Volume 7)

Safety and Regulatory Issues of Nanoencapsulated Food Ingredients, a volume in the Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry series, discusses the safety and toxicity potential of food-relevant and edible nanostructures, along with legislation issued by different countries and organizations governing their safety. The book's chapters cover safety issues of nanocapsules in food matrices, their possible toxicity effects, and in vitro and in vivo assays which are explored to underline their impact. Authored by a team of global experts in the fields of nano and microencapsulation of food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical ingredients, this title is of great value to those engaged in fields surrounding nanoencapsulation. Review Presents safety issues and the toxicity effects of nanocapsules in food matrices, along with the regulations legislated by different countries From the Back Cover Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry, vol. 7: Safety and Regulatory Issues of Nanoencapsulated Food Ingredients Presents safety issues and toxicity effects of nanocapsules in food matrices and the regulations legislated by different countries. Edited by Seid Mahdi Jafari Associate Professor, Department of Food Materials and Process Design Engineering, University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Gorgan, Iran Safety and Regulatory Issues of Nanoencapsulated Food Ingredients, a volume in the Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry series, discusses the safety and toxicity potential of food-relevant and edible nanostructures, along with investigating the legislations issued by different countries and organizations governing the safety of nanoencapsulated ingredients. The chapters are dedicated to the safety issues of nanocapsules in food matrices plus their possible toxicity effects are presented; the in vitro and in vivo assays are explored to underline the impacts of these tiny materials in the living system. The regulations legislated by different countries and organizations in regard to nano-food products are also highlighted. Authored by a team of global experts in the fields of nano and microencapsulation of food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical ingredients, this title is of great value to those engaged in the various fields of of nanoencapsulation. Explores how to analyse the safety of nanoencapsulated bioactive ingredients Discusses the regulations governing the safety of nanoencapsulated ingredients in different countries Investigates what agencies and which governmental organization are responsible for safety of nanoencapsulated ingredients About the Editor Seid Mahdi Jafari received his PhD at the University of Queensland, Australia in the area of Food Process Engineering.
