Food, organic quality

In 1952 a table bird of 2.0 kg consumed 6.0 kg of food in 13 weeks in 1992 a bird reached the same weight in only six weeks and ate a mere 3.8 kg of food. Organic poultry producers cannot hope to match these figures. In order to observe the much stricter welfare code promulgated by the Soil Association, they have to concentrate on a quality market and abjure mass production. 

After adjusting the temperature to about 40°C, the organic solvent is treated with clean water to strip the phosphoric acid. This acid, containing about 30% H3PO4, is heated and water evaporated to produce concentrated (85%) phosphoric acid of food grade quality. 

Organic food process quality and product quality... 

Because they play a pivotal role in maintaining the quality and nutritional value of a variety of foods, organic acids are among the most frequently assayed substances in this type of substrate. 

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations provides a lot of information and relevant links related to food safety and quality, including mycotoxins. Available from http //www.fao.org/food/food-safety-quality/home-page/en/. 

The concentration of acid impurities is an important indication of the quality of petroleum products and the purity of organic solvents, plasticizers, mineral oils, food fats, and polymers. Methods are used to detect organic acids in such compounds have many disadvantages the alkalimetry - low sensitivity, especially in the determination of weak acids, the extraction-photometric method is laborious, instmmental methods are expensive. In addition, most of methods are commonly unsuitable for direct analysis. 

Control laboratories in the canned food industry are usually divorced from the research organization to a lesser degree than is the case in the chemical and allied industries. For this reason, a closer relationship exists between the problems of the control laboratory and the research laboratory. Although from a research standpoint this condition is often considered undesirable, it has considerable merit in the case of the canned food industry, in which production may be seasonal and often of rather short duration. The collection of control data in many instances may also serve for research purposes—for example, in the case of soil analyses, which may be correlated with agricultural research designed to improve crop yields. Because the variables which affect the quality of canned foods must usually be investigated rather extensively, and often over a period of more than one year, the application of statistical methods to data collected for control purposes can conceivably make a substantial contribution to a research program.
