Food Toxicants

Dear Colleagues,

There are many food toxicants that can be harmful to human health. Food toxicants can be man-made, naturally occurring, or produced during food processing or preservation.

This Special Issue will focus on both man-made and naturally occurring toxicants in foods, including mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, food additives, byproducts produced during food processing or preservation, nanomaterials, and any other toxicants present in foods. Chemical, analytical, molecular biological, and biochemical approaches for food toxicants will be welcome. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo mechanistic and toxicity studies will be also welcome.

Prof. Dr. Soo-Jin Choi
Guest Editor
