Description
Book SynopsisCereal grain safety from farm to table Mycotoxin Reduction in Grain Chains examines the ways in which food producers, inspectors, and processors can keep our food supply safe. Providing guidance on identification, eradication, and prevention at each stop on the grain chain?, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone who works with cereal grains. Discussions include breeding and crop management, chemical control, contamination prediction, and more for maize, wheat, sorghum, rice, and other major grains. Relevant and practical in the field, the lab, and on the production floor, this book features critical guidance for every point from farm to table.
Trade Review“Mycotoxin reduction in grain chainsis a very helpful book both as a reference work for those involved in the fields of mycotoxins or cereal production as well as a good introduction for those who would like to start in that areas. The format of the book presenting and discussing microbiological, analytical, pre-harvest and postharvest techniques is extremely convenient. The book emphasises on current technologies which are increasingly applied for cereals but does also provides a picture of upcoming trends.” (World Mycotoxin Journal, 1 February 2015)
