The narrowing of diversity in crop species contributing to the world's food supplies has been considered a potential threat to food security. However, changes in this diversity have not been quantified globally. We assess trends over the past 50 y in the richness, abundance, and composition of crop species in national food supplies worldwide. Over this period, national per capita food supplies ...

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary fungal metabolites. A large variety of mycotoxins have been described, but only a minority of them occur regularly in feed and food items under normal conditions and pose a risk to feed and food safety. The important moulds producing toxins during storage belong to the genera of Penicillium, or Aspergillus. The most important storage toxins are probably ochratoxin...

The relative rates of growth in the supply and demand for food, feed and fiber have far-reaching economic and social consequences, most readily observed through changes in commodity prices. Over the past 50 years and longer, the supply of food commodities has grown faster than the demand, in spite of increasing population and rising per capita incomes. As a consequence, the real (deflated) pric...

Absorbed dose in food product is determined and controlled by several parameters of the LINAC irradiation facility as well as those of the product. Standardization of the parameters characterizing the facility parameters, process load and the irradiation conditions collectively termed as ‘process parameters’ are important for successful dose delivery to the food products. In the present study, ...

According to § 5 para 1 no. 1 of the German Act on Foods and Commodities (LMBG), mechanically recycled polyethylene terephthalate for food contact use must meet the same requirements as virgin PET as given in §§ 30 and 31 (1) of LMBG as well as those of the German Regulations on Commodities (Bedarfsgegenständeverordnung). No PET constituents are allowed to migrate into the food except they are ...

This study is aimed to develop agroecological zone model (AEZ) integrated with the evaluation of land suitability in order to attain the food tenacity in Boyolali County, Central Java, Indonesia. This model is established through five steps. First, it is stocktaking and identifying biophysical land characteristic. The second step is compiling map of suitability of land commodities. The third is...
