In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the quality, safety characteristics and health implications of processed foods. Topics discussed include novel thermal and non-thermal food processing technologies; persistence of transgenic DNA in processed foods of animal origin; cassava as a source of chemically safe food; transformation of vegetable waste from the food industry into value added products; functional mathematical index (FMI) as an index generator for taming quality as applied to food and processes; nutritional and biological potential of functional foods cont.
