Food Toxicology

Food toxicology is a distinct field dedicated to assessing how the constituents of the intricate chemical matrix within our diets impact the activities of harmful agents. These agents can be either naturally occurring endogenous substances or they may be introduced through contamination from various sources, including animals, or as a result of food production, processing, and preparation. Food toxicology is gaining increasing significance due to the globalization of the food supply chain, making it susceptible to potential contamination or toxic substances that could lead to severe adverse health effects. This field encompasses various facets of food safety and toxicology.

Key areas within this domain include:

• Food Allergy
• Food Safety Assessment
• Food Intolerance
• Genetically Modified Food
• Food Contaminants
• Edible Nano Coatings
