The parameters, mentioned however, have not been clearly interpreted in terms of quality, i.e. what aspect of quality is measured The IQC provides a framework for further investigations to demonstrate the meaning of these parameters. In the apple and carrot experiments of the Louis Bolk Instituut, we demonstrated some experimental parameters in food products grown with different balances between growth and differentiation. Biocrystallisation pictures in particular, are able to show both the life processes of growth and differentiation, and their integration. In future we expect to find the key to work out the relevance of coherence for health in the balance (the integration) between the life processes. 

To this end, we designed experiments in which conditions were varied in order to induce the extremes of growth or differentiation into the crop. In Table 5.4 we present an overview of the experiments with the presumed effects of varying the cultivation factors on the life processes. By comparing the results with our expectations, we largely completed step 4 of the validation course for apple and carrot. 

Anatomy of the abscission zone at the base of mature fruits has been investigated in apples (10), cherries (11), citrus (12), and olives (13) and has been discussed as related to mechanical fruit removal (2, 14), The histochemistry of the separation layer of mature fruit is very similar to that of leaves of citrus (15) and bean (16,17), The actual separation occurs through one or more processes in the separation zone (a) a weakening of the cementing ability of the middle lamella between cells, and (b) a softening of the entire cells (17), In some plants, the abscission zone is structurally differentiated as a layer of compact cells or as a zone of localized cell division in other species, abscission may occur across a transect of cells which show little or no visible diflFerentiation (18). Thus, major components of the separation process involve the dissolution of middle lamella and lysis of cell walls or entire cells in the separation zone, but this is not necessarily associated with distinctive morphological characteristics (19). 

The main hematologic change is acanthocytosis, a red cell abnormality (see figure 2) which has been used by some authors as a name for the disease. It is uniformly present in a-jS-lipoproteinemia and can be seen upon inspection of a wet blood smear. In cases where anisocytosis is suspected initially rather than acanthocytosis, other findings such as the low serum cholesterol level aid in differentiation. Over 50 per cent (Wolff 1965) and up to 80 per cent (Sobrevilla et al. 1964) of red cells show the typical changes they resemble thorn-apples with spinelike processes of various sizes that impart a crenated appearance. Bone-marrow examinations show the reticulocytes to be normal. The lack of rouleaux formation may contribute to the low red cell sedimentation rate (about 1 mm in the first hour) or else may result from a common cause.
