Description
Studies of selenium cover many disciplines - agriculture, food, medicine - which have all produced literature exclusive to that particular area. This book brings together information from this wide range of disciplines to provide a review of the role of selenium. The emphasis will be on selenium as a food component and nutrient but its biological significance and environmental impact will also be addressed. It should be of interest to industrial and academic food scientists and technologists concerned with food analysis, quality and toxicity, as well as nutritionists, environmental chemists and ecotoxicologists.
