Introduction to food contamination and safety -- Microbial contamination of foods -- Analysis of food contaminants -- Molecular analysis of food flavors -- Chemical contaminants -- Safety evaluation-- Food fortification. "Food contamination can be considered as a paramount necessity. Most of the consumers need good quality foods that can be cheap and can be classified as safe. The protection of the customer and food safety can be considered as important tasks in the food production industries. It is always important to ensure that the food products are safe so that there will be no problems in both international and national trade.
