New Book Highlights the Role of Atomic and Mass Spectrometry in the Determination of Chemical Elements in Food.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c71989) has announced the addition of The Determination of Chemical Elements in Food : Applications for Atomic and Mass Spectrometry mass spectrometry or mass spectroscopy Analytic technique by which chemical substances are identified by sorting gaseous ions by mass using electric and magnetic fields. to their offering. State-Of-The-Art Tools And Applications for Food Safety And Food Science Research Atomic spectroscopy Atomic spectroscopy is the determination of elemental composition by its electromagnetic or mass spectrum. Atomic spectroscopy is closely related to other forms of spectroscopy. It can be divided by atomization source or by the type of spectroscopy used. and mass spectrometry are important tools for identifying and quantifying trace elements Trace elements A group of elements that are present in the human body in very small amounts but are nonetheless important to good health. They include chromium, copper, cobalt, iodine, iron, selenium, and zinc. Trace elements are also called micronutrients. in food products-elements that may be potentially beneficial or potentially toxic. The Determination of Chemical Elements in Food: Applications for Atomic and Mass Spectrometry teaches the reader how to use these advanced technologies for food analysis. With chapters written by internationally renowned scientists, it provides a detailed overview of progress in the field and the latest innovations in instrumentation and techniques, covering: * Fundamentals and method development, selected applications, and speciation speciation Formation of new and distinct species, whereby a single evolutionary line splits into two or more genetically independent ones. One of the fundamental processes of evolution, speciation may occur in many ways. analysis * Applications of atomic absorption spectrometry Absorption spectrometry A scientific procedure to determine chemical makeup of samples. Mentioned in: Herbalism, Traditional Chinese , inductively coupled plasma An inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is a type of plasma source in which the energy is supplied by electrical currents which are produced by electromagnetic induction, that is, by time-varying magnetic fields. atomic emission spectrometry, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) is a type of mass spectrometry that is highly sensitive and capable of the determination of a range of metals and several non-metals at concentrations below one part in 1012. * Applications to foods of animal origin and applications to foods of vegetable origin * Foreseeable developments of instrumental spectrometric techniques that can be exploited to better protect consumers' health, with a full account of the most promising trends in spectrometric instrumentation and ancillary apparatuses * Applicable laws and regulations at the national and international levels This book highlights the role played by atomic and mass spectrometry (with particular reference to atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) in supporting and promoting research and control of foodstuffs foodstuffs npl → comestibles mpl foodstuffs npl → denrées fpl alimentaires foodstuffs food npl → and food commodities as regards both essential and potentially toxic chemical Any chemical which, through its chemical action on life processes, can cause death, temporary incapacitation, or permanent harm to humans or animals. This includes all such chemicals, regardless of their origin or of their method of production, and regardless of whether they are produced elements. The multinational chapter authors overview the progress made so far in this field and emphasize the problems that would require further investment and development in the public and private sectors. The chapters are subdivided into three main sections: Fundamentals and method development, Selected applications, and Speciation analysis, where the various topics are approached in a holistic manner so as to be of interest to the widest readership. This is a core reference for scientists in food laboratories in the public and private sectors and academia, as well as members of regulatory bodies that deal with food safety.
