Determining the presence of different types of toxic compounds (or xenobiotics) in food requires precise analytical methodologies. Examples of these techniques include separation techniques coupled to mass spectrometry, Variations in methods used depend on the physicochemical properties of each xenobiotic being tested for.Advances in the Determination of Xenobiotics in Foods explains recent developments in the field of xenobiotic determination in food. Readers are introduced to xenobiotic testing techniques through extensive reviews. Chapters also cover details about contaminants coming from food contact materials (such as plasticizers, food additives, polymer monomers/oligomers and non-intentionally added substances), substances used for food processing and sensing (nanoparticles), and residues of pesticides (that can also be present in the final food product). The book also includes information about specific xenobiotics that, due to their global distribution in the environment, are also likely to enter the food chain. Some of them are regulated (persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals) but there are many other types of contaminants (halogenated flame-retardants, perfluorinated compounds and micro- and nanoplastics) that must also be controlled. In addition, some xenobiotics could be present in the final food consumed because of food treatments (acrylamide, furan, heterocyclic aromatic amines, and glycidol esters). Finally, the concluding chapters of the book are devoted to the presence of natural contaminants such as mycotoxins and biogenic amines.The combination of extensive information of analytical techniques for xenobiotics along with a categorical treatment of food contaminants makes this volume a handy reference for food science and technology students and technicians involved in food safety and processing management roles.

Este libro constituye un aporte significativo al campo del pensamiento ambiental y la ecología política. Con un estilo ameno y un hilo argumentativo original, coherente, claro y profundo, el texto aborda la dimension afectiva, sensible, sintiente y estetica propia de la crisis ambiental contemporanea, asi como las relaciones que requerimos tejer para reorganizar los afectos en sintonia con los ciclos vitales del planeta.La afectividad ambiental propuesta por los autores, es una invitacion a cultivar la sensibilidad en forma comun, a enseñarnos a ser tocados por la emocion de otros cuerpos, a recobrar la confianza en nuestros sentidos a traves del contacto con los diversos modos de vida, a llenar el lenguaje de tierra, y a despertar nuestra percep-cion sensible anestesiada por los reduccionismos ontologicos, las ecologias de la crueldad y el regimen afectivo del mercado. Este ensayo es un manifiesto sobre el lugar politico de la produccion del sentir, una consigna etica acerca de la urgencia de recuperar los saberes ambientales de los pueblos, y un faro epistemico que nos estimula a comprender de otro modo nuestro estar en el cosmos en medio de esta guerra civilizatoria contra la vida.
