Only two companies—Steri(jenics International in Tustin, Calif. and Food Technology Service Inc. in Mulberry, Fla.— irradiate food in the United States, and both use the same basic process involving cobalt-60 isotopes. Linear accelerators, however, may be the technology of future plants. These devices emit a beam of electrons that directly contact the product or convert the accelerated electrons into X rays, which can penetrate deeper than an electron beam but are less efficient. 

For standard or proprietary polymer additive blends there is the need for analytical certification of the components. Blend technology has been developed for two- to six-component polymer additive blend systems, with certified analytical results [81]. Finally, there exist physical collections of reference additive samples, both public [82] and proprietary. The Dutch Food Inspection Service reference collection comprises 100 of the most important additives used in food contact plastics [83-85]. Reference compounds of a broad range of additives used in commercial plastics and rubber formulations are generally also available from the major additive manufacturers. These additive samples can be used as reference or calibration standards for chromatographic or spectroscopic analysis. DSM Plastics Reference Collection of Additives comprises over 1400 samples. 

Covers the worldwide literature of food science and technology. Includes information on occupational toxicology in the food handling and processing areas, toxicology of foods and packaging, and additives information. Produced by the International Food Information Service (IFIS). (Data-Star, DIALOG, DIMDI, ORBIT, STN available on CD only or with several combined files from a number of producers). 

The instrument used for this experiment was the Short Path Thermal Desorption (SPTD) system TD-3. This is a commercial system developed Jointly by the Center for Advanced Food Technology (CAFT) at Rutgers University and Scientific Instrument Services, Inc. (SIS), Ringoes, NJ, USA. Tlie TD-3 was connected to a Varian 3400 GC (Sugarland, TX, USA). 

Enzyme technology is the application of free enzymes and whole-cell biocatalysts in the production of foods and services. A more narrow definition limits enzyme technology to the technological concepts that allow the use of enzymes in competitive large-scale bioprocesses. Enzyme technology is an interdisciplinary field, recognized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as an important component of sustainable industrial development.

In addition to the examples of problems quoted above which may face analysts in the field of organic chemistry and technology, organic analysis offers valuable service in other special fields—for example, in biochemistry, forensic chemistry, air-pollution studies, in food technology, and in mineral oil chemistry. In these fields the analyst adapts the method to suit the analyzed medium—for example, the biochemical material or food. 

Teaching knowledge of e.g. physics and chemistry must be selective and adequate to provide a clear understanding of the principles of food technology. Where such parts of the course are taught by service departments it is essential to ensure that the teacher is able to be selective in the course material and can illustrate its relevance to later studies. 

Biopract provides technological products and processes for industry, agriculture, and environment. They not only produce technical enzyme preparations but also develop enzymes for applications in agriculture, food, and textile industry as well as in environmental technologies. On the later, bioremediation has been an area of service delivery from Biopract. Their activities regards microbial preparations for the bioremediation of organic contaminants (mineral oil (MKW), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX), methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE), volatile organic hydrocarbons (VOC), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)). 

Microbes, Inc. founded in 1988, is a Delaware corporation, whose business includes two areas increasing yields from (1) oilfields and (2) food crops. The oil-related business entails the development and supply of microbial products and services for enhancing oil recovery from existing reservoirs. National Parakleen Company, Inc. is a subsidiary, which since 1988, have applied their proprietary technology in oil wells and reservoirs, jointly with Microbes, Inc. Their enhanced recovery technology (Migration Microbial...

The chemical industry is a key industry. Its products and services are instrumental in meeting the needs of society. It is present in all areas of life, from food and clothing, housing, communications, transport—right through to leisure activities. In addition, it helps to solve the problems of other sectors of industry, such as the energy sector, information technologies, environmental industries and the waste disposal sector, as examples.
