Product innovation in the food sector, as well as concern about food quality in general, is growing and is regulated worldwide. As a result, there is a greater demand for increasingly qualified professionals to carry out activities in the bromatological field, including, in addition to composition control, physical-chemical and microbiological quality control for the purposes of developing new products; processing control and even inspections for possible findings of fraud. This book presents a collection of experimental protocols carried out at the Faculdade de Integração do Sertão-FIS, the aim of which was to give undergraduates experience of the techniques most commonly used in food analysis.

In this book, we delve into a thorough study of prescriptions and medication consumption profiles in this very vulnerable and important population. The health of the elderly is a complex and challenging issue, especially when it comes to managing multiple health conditions. They often require ongoing pharmacological treatments and may use multiple medications at the same time. Drug interactions pose a significant challenge in contemporary clinical practice. With the frequent use of multiple medications by patients, the chances of interactions occurring that may affect efficacy, safety, and therapeutic outcome increase. These interactions can occur in a variety of ways, involving changes in drug absorption, metabolism, distribution, or elimination. In addition, individual patient characteristics, such as age, health conditions, and concomitant medication use, can influence the potential for drug interactions.
