Topics covered include biosensors, BMO’s, nanoscale analysis systems, food authenticity, radionuclides concentration, meat factors and meat quality, particle size analysis, and scanning colorimity. It also analyzes peptides, carbohydrates, vitamins, and food additives and contains chapters on alcohols, phenolic compounds, pigments, and residues of growth promoters. Attuned to contemporary food industry concerns, this bestselling classic also features topical coverage of the quantification of genetically modified organisms in food.

During the meeting the FAO Panel of Experts was responsible for reviewing pesticide use patterns (good agricultural practices), data on the chemistry and composition of pesticides and methods of analysis for pesticide residues and for estimating the maximum residue levels that might occur as a a result of the use of pesticides according to good agricultural practices. The WHO Core Assessment Group was responsible for reviewing toxicological and related data and for estimating, where possible, acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) of pesticides for humans. This report contains information on ADIs, maximum residue limits (MRLs) and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides. The supporting documents (on residues and toxicological evaluations) contain detailed monographs on these pesticides and include comments on analytical methods.

The annual Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues was held in Geneva, Switzerland from 20 to 29 September 2005. The Panel reviewed pesticide use patterns (good agricultural practice), data on the chemistry and composition of the pesticides and methods of analysis for pesticide residues. The WHO Core Assessment Group reviewed toxicological and related data, and estimated acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) for humans. This report contains information on ADIs, maximum residue levels and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides.
