The Mycotoxin Factbook covers the latest developments to combat the mycotoxin problem.
The Mycotoxin Factbook contains the results of the third conference of the World Mycotoxin Forum. The book focuses on mycotoxin food and feed risks in the context of human nutrition and animal feeding.
Coverage includes:
- regulatory issues
- international developments and the impact on world trade
- latest information on major mycotoxins and emerging problems in the food chain
- impact of mycotoxins in the feed chain
- new developments in mycotoxin prevention
- trends in mycotoxin analysis
