The Journal of Food Safety is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on microbial food safety. [1] It was established in 1977 and is currently published by Wiley-Blackwell. The journal moved to online-only publication in 2011. [2] The editor-in-chief is Vivian C.H. Wu .
US food safety regulations have set a maximum permitted level of 20 μg/kg for aflatoxin B 1, in combination with the other aflatoxins (B 2, G 1 and G 2) in all foods, with the exception of milk which has a maximum permitted level of 0.5 μg/kg. Higher levels of 100–300 μg/kg are tolerable for some animal feeds.
In the feed and food industry, it has become common practice to add mycotoxin binding agents such as montmorillonite or bentonite clay in order to effectively adsorb the mycotoxins. [53] To reverse the adverse effects of mycotoxins, the following criteria are used to evaluate the functionality of any binding additive:
Dietary recommendations for cancer prevention typically include weight management and eating a healthy diet, consisting mainly of "vegetables, fruit, whole grains and fish, and a reduced intake of red meat, animal fat, and refined sugar." [1] A healthy dietary pattern may lower cancer risk by 10–20%. [12]
An alkylating antineoplastic agent is an alkylating agent used in cancer treatment that attaches an alkyl group (C n H 2n+1) to DNA. [ 1 ] Since cancer cells, in general, proliferate faster and with less error-correcting than healthy cells, cancer cells are more sensitive to DNA damage—such as being alkylated.
Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention is a peer-reviewed medical journal devoted to research in the field of cancer epidemiology.Topics include descriptive, analytical, biochemical, and molecular epidemiology, the use of biomarkers to study the neoplastic and preneoplastic processes in humans, chemoprevention and other types of prevention trials, and the role of behavioral factors in ...
Cancer immunotherapy with ordinary monoclonal antibodies does not activate T-lymphocytes because the Fab regions are already used for binding the tumor cells, and this type of cell does not have Fc receptors. [27] Bispecific antibodies also have a higher cytotoxic potential, and bind to antigens that are expressed relatively weakly. [28]
Regional kinds of cookies often use humectants as a binding agent in order to keep moisture locked into the center of the cookie rather than have it evaporate out. [13] Humectants are favored in food products because of their ability to keep consumable goods moist and increase shelf-life.
