    During processing, storage, and utilization of food, changes occur in the chemistry of major components, in properties and interactions among components. These changes can affect food quality, food safety, as well as the access of food into global markets. Food can also become contaminated with chemicals, from farm to the consumer. Examples of food contaminants include pesticides, veterinary drugs...
