Description: Thirty-four contributions from the April 1990 conference address the multifaceted consequences of food processing, specifically: nutrient- nonnutrient interactions; effects of radiation; thermally induced formation of dietary mutagens, antimutagens, carcinogens, anticarcinogens, antioxidants, and growth inhibitors; effects of pH on nutritional value and safety; oxidizing agents; food allergenicities; metabolic detoxification pathways; prevention of adverse effects; beneficial effects; and risk assessment.
