Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the non-nutrient chemicals humans ingest with their normal diet are naturally occurring secondary metabolites of food plants. Quantitatively, exposures to these plant-specific constituents may significantly exceed dietary exposures to most of the synthetic chemicals, which may intentionally or unintentionally occur in food. Some of them have been shown to be highly potent toxins. It has been proposed to define inherent plant toxicants as plant constituents, which might induce adverse effects in humans when the plant or plant products are consumed. Examples are glycoalkaloids in potatoes, cyanogenic glucosides in cassava or phytohemaglutinin in red kidney beans. They have all been causally associated with acute human toxicity when ingested through foods that were not properly processed or prepared. Both toxicological and exposure data are limited for most inherent plant toxicants. Therefore, accurate risk assessment is often not possible. For many inherent toxicants the margin of exposure between toxic levels in humans and actual exposure from food is low. Therefore risk management measures need to be implemented in order to ensure food safety. Management options include development of cultivars low in inherent toxicants, agricultural and storage practices, and food processing. Further work is necessary to better characterize the potential health impact of inherent plant toxicants. This should include the development of a risk assessment paradigm which considers both potential adverse but also beneficial effects of secondary plant metabolites and of the pertinent food plants as such.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997. Natural toxicants are the subject of research throughout the world, and they are used for many purposes. The Handbook of Plant and Fungal Toxicants presents a wide range of compounds and considers how they relate to food safety, therapeutic purposes in medicine, and uses in breeding plants for enhanced resistance to insects and disease. Alkaloids, both from plant and fungal sources, are emphasized. Also covered are a variety of toxicants and phytochemicals including: bracken fern poisons polyphenolics gossypol flavones isoflavones pyrimidine glycosides fruit and vegetable allergens linear furanocoumarins photosensitizing agents nitrates oxalates Pinus ponderosa toxicants The text stresses the positive aspects of plant secondary compounds and presents examples of beneficial attributes in the context of environmental protection and human health. An international authorship addresses the global diversity and ecological distribution of plant and fungal toxicants. This handbook is ideal for senior-level college students and post-graduate students studying animal science, toxicology, and pharmaceutical sciences.

Book excerpt: While systems such as GMP and HACCP assure a high standard of food quality, foodborne poisonings still pose a serious hazard to the consumer's health. The lack of knowledge among some producers and consumers regarding the risks and benefits related to food makes it imperative to provide updated information in order to improve food safety. To
