Food safety: importance of composition for assessing genetically modified cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz).

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry - 4 Sept 2013

van Rijssen Fredrika W Jansen, Morris E Jane, Eloff Jacobus N

Abstract excerpt

The importance of food composition in safety assessments of genetically modified (GM) food is described for cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) that naturally contains significantly high levels of cyanogenic glycoside (CG) toxicants in roots and leaves. The assessment of the safety of GM cassava would logically require comparison with a non-GM crop with a proven "history of safe use". This study investigates this...
