Green Chemistry in Food Analysis

Book excerpt: Green Chemistry in Food Analysis: Conventional and Emerging Approaches provides systematic analysis and up-to-date coverage of green sample preparation techniques in food analysis. The book compiles and discusses the advantages and limitations of sample preparation techniques that are relevant to green chemistry, addresses the latest developments in green spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques for food analysis, identifies and proposes solutions for the development of new strategies to solve real problems, and provides systematic and comprehensive coverage of emerging green materials, analytical technologies, and their applications in food analysis. Specific chapters are devoted to artificial intelligence, microfluidics and nanotechnology. The book's final section covers applications of these methods for the detection of allergens, dyes, pathogens and mycotoxins. Provides systematic analysis and up-to-date coverage of green sample preparation techniques in food analysis Covers recent developments in the use of clean, rapid and non-invasive spectroscopic and chromatographic approaches in analytical food analysis Introduces new green materials such as solvents, adsorbents and sensors that are transforming food analysis Addresses cutting-edge and emerging technologies in food analysis such as artificial intelligence, microfluidics and nano sensor technology Covers current and potential applications of emerging green technologies in food analysis
