Specific  genetically modified whole foods and food ingredients that  have  recently become available or are about to become available are  described and discussed in relation to their technical performance  and consumer acceptance. The regulatory, ethical and communication  issues in food biotechnology are also reviewed. As the products of  gene technology come on stream, decisions need to be made as to  whether or not to use them. Yet, many food industry professionals  have little or no background in biotechnology and have a limited  concept of possible applications in foods. Therefore, this book aims  to foster a greater understanding of the benefits and potential  pitfalls of this new technology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780751403992\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5815-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 260\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266208682124,"sku":"9780751403992","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780751403992.jpg?v=1770815154","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780751403992","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
