Safety of Meat and Processed Meat

By Fidel Toldrá

Safety of Meat and Processed Meat PDF provides the reader with the recent developments on safety, from the abattoir along the processing chain to the final product.

To achieve this goal, the editor uses five approaches. The first part deals with the main biological contaminants like pathogen microorganisms, toxins, meat spoilage and BSE material that can be present either in meat or its derived products. The second part focuses on main technologies for meat decontamination like high pressure or bioprotective cultures to extend the shelf life. The third part presents non-biological contaminants and residues in meat and meat products including PAH, veterinary drugs and environmental compounds. The fourth part discusses current methodologies for the detection of spoilage and pathogen microorganisms, its toxins, BSE material and GMOs, and the final part deals with predictive models, risk assessment, regulations on meat safety and other recent trends in the field.

This book is written by distinguished international contributors from 18 countries with excellent experience and reputation. In addition, brings together advances in different safety approaches.

Fidel Toldrá is a Professor at the Instituto de Agroquímica y Tecnología de Alimentos (CSIC) in Valencia, Spain.

Vet eBooks

-

By Dr. R. Kanakaraj

A Textbook of Animal Genetics (2nd Edition) is a comprehensive introductory resource designed to simplify and clarify the fundamental principles of genetics for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Developed from extensive teaching experience, the book presents genetics in a logical historical sequence, beginning with Mendelian genetics and progressing through cytogenetics, molecular genetics, population genetics, and applied genetics.

The content is organized into twelve parts comprising forty chapters, each supported by clear illustrations, worked examples, and explanatory diagrams. To reinforce learning and critical thinking, every chapter concludes with thought-provoking questions and unsolved problems that allow students to evaluate their understanding and apply genetic principles effectively.

A comprehensive glossary is included to assist students in mastering genetic terminology. The book has been written in alignment with the Indian Veterinary Council (IVC) syllabus, making it particularly suitable for veterinary science institutions and students. It also serves as a valuable reference for general science students seeking a structured and accessible introduction to animal genetics.
