Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) may be defined as ‘the enclosure of food products in gas-barrier materials, in which the gaseous environment has been changed’ (Young et al, 1988). Because of its substantial shelf-life extending effect, MAP has been one of the most significant and innovative growth areas in retail food packaging over the past two decades. The potential advantages and disadvantages of MAP have been presented by both Farber (1991) and Parry (1993), and summarised by Davies (1995) in Table 16.1

7.1 Introduction Both food processors and consumers have a basic need for valid and relevant nutritional information; on the one hand to guide production and marketing of genuinely functional products, and on the other to allow selection of products according to efficacy

4.1 Introduction Minerals are the inorganic elements, other than carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, which remain behind in the ash when food is incinerated. They are usually divided into two groups – macrominerals and microminerals (or trace elements). The terms are historical in origin and originated at a time when the development of analytical equipment was still in its infancy and ‘trace’ was used to refer to components whose presence could be detected, but not quantified. Modern analytical equipment that allows determination of elements

1. The present paper is intended to inform and stimulate discussion about the rule of law, with a focus on issues that are important for the development and maintenance of effective criminal justice systems. It will be seen that there are differing concepts of the rule of law and that taken broadly it covers a very wide range of legal and social issues. To permit discussion on a uniform basis, the paper

Fresh fish products are usually more perishable than most other foodstuffs due to their high aw, neutral pH, and presence of autolytic enzymes. The spoilage of fish and shellfish results from changes caused by oxidation of lipids, reactions due to activities of the fishes'own enzymes, and the metabolic activities of microorganisms (Ashie et al., 1996). The rate of deterioration is highly temperature dependent and can be inhibited by the use of low storage
