Book excerpt: One of the most important emerging aspects that requires further research in food safety is the simultaneous presence of different contaminants (both microbiological and chemical) in the same food, the so-called “cocktail effect”. Large amounts of data are needed for these evaluations, since the huge number of interactions among different contaminants, which maybe hypothesized, have to be statistically evaluated before confirming an effective risk. Moreover, the range of food to take into account within these studies is very wide. In order to obtain comprehensive datasets, new approaches are needed. These approaches, composed of new analytical procedures, microbiological protocols and chemical/physical determinations, should allow the quick and economic obtainment of many parameters, possibly respecting the environment, in the “green chemistry” perspective.
