Genetically Engineered Food Methods and Detection Detection of Genetic Modifications

There is much public discussion about Novel Foods. Food products have to be labeled in order to make transparent whether they contain genetic modifications or are produced by genetically engineered organisms.Clarifying the unsolved aspects of labeling novel foods, this book presents the methods, limitations and future perspectives for genetic engineering. Following an overview of recent techniques and applications in plants, animals and microorganims, a second section - written by expert lawyers - covers the legal issues of genetically engineered food and labeling. The whole is rounded off with methods and strategies for detecting of genetic manipulation in food.Heller, K. is the author of 'Genetically Engineered Food Methods and Detection Detection of Genetic Modifications' with ISBN 9783527303090 and ISBN 352730309X.
