The concept of valorisation isn’t just used by the food industry, which can mean that your literature search results contain a lot of irrelevant information. Searching the term on Google Scholar and other multidisciplinary databases can bring up research related to construction, non-food-related chemical engineering, and even economic theory. Thankfully, you don’t have to worry about that when you search using the FSTA Thesaurus. Thanks to the most comprehensive food and beverage thesaurus in the world, you can minimises the chance for false hits and make it easier to find exactly what you want. With everything carefully curated by the IFIS experts you can be sure your results are trustworthy and relevant to the sciences of food and health.

🌍💡 Advancements in Food Waste Research: Building a Sustainable Future On the UN International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, we put a spotlight on the critical progress in reducing food waste. With a 525% increase in food waste research over the past decade, scientists are driving innovation—like new packaging technologies and food waste valorisation, which transforms waste into valuable resources. These advancements not only help fight hunger but also combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Toxicity in Food. We are what we eat and who want to be eating toxins? Over 1800 food contact chemicals (FCCs) are known to migrate from food contact articles used to store, process, package, and serve foodstuffs. The paper titled "Evidence for widespread human exposure to food contact chemicals" provides an overview of the presence of food contact chemicals (FCCs) in human samples. These FCCs migrate from food contact materials (FCMs) such as packaging, utensils, and processing equipment into food and are ingested by humans. The study highlights key findings: Human Exposure: Out of over 14,000 FCCs known to be used in FCMs, evidence shows that 3601 of these chemicals are present in human samples. This includes both FCCs detected in biomonitoring programs and those found in metabolome/exposome databases. Health Risks: Many of these chemicals exhibit hazardous properties such as carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and reprotoxicity, with 80 FCCs classified as high concern due to their hazardous nature. Notably, substances like bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, and several per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were frequently detected in humans. Gaps in Toxicity Data: Despite the widespread use of FCCs, many have not been thoroughly tested for toxicity. The paper identifies 59 priority FCCs that are present in humans but lack adequate hazard data, raising concerns about unassessed risks. Interactive Tool: The results are compiled in an interactive database called FCChumon, which helps policymakers and researchers prioritize FCCs that need more regulatory attention to enhance food safety and public health. You can find the link to the study in the comments section below. Food Science & Technology Abstracts database can help you discover the research published about FCCS and food safety.
