MONOGRAPHIC: Challenges of the Circular Bioeconomy for Food Security from an Analytical Chemistry Perspective
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Circular Bioeconomy (CBEC) can give rise to a number of vulnerabilities for food and feed safety human and animal health and the environment. Within the framework of the Circular Bioeconomy, practices related to the sourcing and recycling of materials, new bio-based ingredients used together with new technologies to produce food and feed, new biostimulants, biopesticides and biofertilisers, in short a series of new inputs and processes whose potential risk to the food chain, human health and the environment must be assessed. The characterisation of residues, migration of chemical products and pollutants in the various environmental compartments constitute new analytical problems that must be tackled with new methodologies, where high resolution mass spectrometry, digitalisation and data analysis become more relevant.
