Green Products in Food Safety: A Comprehensive Guide to Sustainable Management

Authored by Bhanu Prakash, “Green Products in Food Safety” delves into the promising role of green chemicals in mitigating food biodeterioration agents, while addressing existing limitations that hinder their widespread adoption.

Understanding Food Loss and Biodeterioration Agents

The book provides an in-depth understanding of food loss caused by biodeterioration agents such as bacteria, fungi, mycotoxins, and insect pests. It also explores novel detection methods for identifying hazardous food contaminants, ensuring a safer food supply chain.

Unveiling the Power of Green Chemicals

The author discusses various sources of green chemicals, their origin, extraction, and characterization methods. The book also examines the bioactivity of green products against biodeterioration agents, including their molecular sites of action.

Pharmacological Properties, Biosynthesis, and Applications

Furthermore, the book delves into the pharmacological properties of green chemicals, metabolic engineering of green chemical biosynthesis, and natural therapy for bovine mastitis. The role of molecular modeling and dynamics in food science is also explored, along with the use of nanocarriers in the food system.

Addressing Limitations and Future Perspectives

The book addresses existing limitations such as availability, cost-effectiveness, molecular mode of action, toxicity assessment, and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) related to the commercial application of green products. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory framework and future perspectives on the sustainable application of green products in food systems.

This comprehensive guide is an invaluable resource for food scientists, researchers, students, and young professionals seeking to understand the basic and translational aspects of green products and their application in food systems.
