We saw that the IS curve represents the equilibrium in the market for goods and services, that the LM curve represents the equilibrium in the market for real money balances, and that the IS and LM curves together

Major technological developments in food packaging can introduce many benefits to consumers and food and food-packaging industries, but at the same time they are liable to the introduction of new problems. Although active and intelligent packaging continues to broaden in scope and these new packaging systems are already being successfully applied in the USA, Japan and Australia its penetration in the European

The colour stability of meat products is influenced by a large number of factors some of biochemical nature, some due to handling during slaughter and processing, and others due to packaging and storage conditions. This chapter focuses on modelling how colour shelf-life is affected by the external factors applied during packaging and storage. However, meat from different sources shows different tendencies to undergo colour deterioration and this variation in internal factors influences the developed models. Therefore some consideration will also be given to discussing how internal factors like

Preservative packagings for fresh meats should maintain acceptable appearance odour and flavour for product, while allowing the development of desirable characteristics associated with ageing and retarding the onset of microbial spoilage(Taylor, 1985). Such effects can be achieved by packaging meats under various atmospheres of oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and/or nitrogen. The atmosphere within a pack may alter during storage, because of reactions between components of the atmosphere and the product, and/or because of transmission of gases into or out of the pack through the packaging

Modified atmosphere packaged (MAP )prepared fresh produce provides substrates and environmental conditions conducive to the survival and growth of microorganisms. Minimal processing treatments such as peeling and slicing disrupt surface tissues, expose cytoplasm and provide a potentially richer source of nutrients than intact produce(Brackett 1994; Barry-Ryan and O'Beirne, 1998, 2000). This, combined with high Aw and either close to neutral (vegetables) or low acid (many fruits) tissue pH, facilitate microbial growth (Beuchat, 1996)

The packaging sector is an important global industry, representing about 2% of the Gross National Product (GNP) of the developed countries. The value of the packaging industry is about 345 million euros worldwide, of which Europe represents a third. Fifty per cent of this market is packaging for food. Forecasts suggest that the sector will continue to grow in size and importance Many cooking and preservation processes still largely depend on effective packaging, for example canning, aseptic, sous vide and baking processes. Processes such as drying and freezing would be lost without protective packaging after processing to control product exposure to the effects of oxygen light, water vapour, bacterial and other contaminants. However, modern food packaging no longer has just a passive role in protecting and marketing the product. It increasingly has an active role in processing, preservation

Managing innovation is a necessary skill for senior management of all food companies producing new raw materials, new ingredients or new consumer products. Company growth and even survival depends on the introduction of successful new products into old and new markets. The dividing line between product success and failure depends on many factors, but the most important are new product qualities, skills and resources of the company, market and marketing proficiency, and an organised product development process

Best practice in product development is a dynamic target. Not only are new practices being developed and refined but the differences in organisations demand the tailored application of these practices. There are eight basic companies, all projects and at all times. But the company philosoph knowledge, skills and assets change; and these changes cause changes in the types of product innovations and the activities in product development Successful companies recognise that product development is an important strategic issue that demands constant attention. There is a need to evaluate the product development performance and the product development success rate
