Description
Callisto Reference Mycotoxins And Food Safety by Field Margo
Mycotoxins are toxic chemicals produced by bacteria bound on crops and can adversely affect the health at each tropic level. This book contains valuable information on the presence of fungi and mycotoxins in various African nations, their effect on health and possible intrusion control approaches against them in developing nations; specifically in Africa. Hence, it will be useful for students, academicians, experts and decision makers in the spheres of medical science, agriculture, food science and technology, trade and economics. It will also act as a helpful text for food regulation officers. Though significant amount of information on mycotoxins is available from the developed countries, information from Africa is sparse and generally unavailable in an extensive manner. This book is an attempt at bridging that gap, benefitting experts in developing nations whose research work has remained restricted due to limited access to knowledge.
