Thus attention should be paid to the type of food to be packed, with particular attention to be paid to fatty foods. However, it should be noted that there can be transfer through some types of primary packaging materials to dry foods of low fat content (e.g. 3% fat) and so it should not be assumed that transfer will not take place to these types of foods. Transfer will occur less readily to aqueous, non-fatty foods.

Each enzyme has a specific function and purpose in the body, such as digesting food, transferring energy, and replicating DNA. Enzymes have a specific reaction center, known ais a substrate. The substrate is of a very specific size, shape, and charge to ensure that only specific molecules are allowed to fit and operate correctly. It s similar to a lock and key, where the enzyme is the lock that can be opened only by the right biomolecule key for the substrate. 

Radium is similar to calcium in chemical behavior and is absorbed from soil by plants and is passed up the food chain to man. Chemical factors such as the amount of exchangeable calcium in the soil will determine the rate at which radium will be absorbed by plants. The radium in food transferred from soil is known to be as variable as Cs contents of food.

The key issue, however, is being able to determine the circumstances in which food transfers are appropriate and how to maximize their impact. Box 7.6 describes four key considerations to keep in mind to help make this assessment—the functioning of food markets, the level of transaction costs, the type and size of the transfer, and the preferences of beneficiaries. 

When are food transfer programs appropriate What are the criteria to keep in mind when deciding how much to distribute in the form of rations and how much as cash Program designers should keep the following four key considerations in mind when deciding if food transfer programs are appropriate or necessary ...

The administrative costs of food transfer programs are relatively high, because transporting and storing food in bulk is costly and these costs are incurred in addition to the personnel and information system costs incurred by cash transfer programs.
