Safeguarding Food Quality Book

The safety and quality of food is of great public concern.
This volume focusses upon foods of animal origin. It discusses the monitoring and controlling of quality and safety at selected stages along the chain of events in food production from growth, harvest and post-harvest to food processing, transport and storage.
The editors have brought together under the aegis of the In-
ternational Society of Animal Clinical Biochemistry (ISACB)
the knowhow and expertise of many pre-eminent scientists.
The latest issues in food safety, quality assurance and de-
tection techniques of deleterious residues are discussed.
Every contribution contains abstracts in English, French,
Spanish and German.
