Foods and food additives

The manufacturing process assessment is based on OECD guidelines for 

This includes the facilities and materials whose safety assessment has been established by past experience. Where no safety assessment has been, experimental tests for toxicity must be made. Products must be assessment to see whether recombinant material is present and whether the product could be considered to be identical to existing foods or additives. For those products having no past safety assessment, tests for toxicity must be carried out. All these steps await the new plant varieties which will be approved by MAFF. 

In September 1992, MHW announced a study to establish food safety standards for marine organisms produced by biotechnology. About 20 types of fish and shellfish have been developed (but not yet marketed). These include oysters, flatfish and salmon which are almost double their normal size due to the use of techniques such as polyploidy.

Specific recommendations on contaminants (e.g., maximum levels of lead, cadmium or mercury) in foodstuffs are summarized in the European Union Regulations.9 The specifications concerning trace elements in foods and food additives are As < 3mgkg 1, Pb < lOmgkg-1, and Hg and Cd < lmgkg-1.

United States food law is codified in the Eederal Eood Drug Cosmetic Act (EEDCA) with amendments and further clarification in the Code of Eederal Regulations, (CER), Title 21. This deals with food and food additives. 

Since the beginning of time, polysaccharides have been of immense importance to human civilization. They are a vital component of our food as an energy source (e.g. starch), and also as roughage (e.g. cellulose fibers) which aids in digestion. They are the earliest known structural materials, i.e. in the form of wood (which is chiefly cellulose, a polysaccharide), that still hold a prominent place as an engineering material. The role of polysaccharides in human civiUzation is vast, and they surround us all the time, even in this era of synthetic materials/plastics in the form of textiles, paper, glue, food and food additives, etc., without causing any major environmental disposal problems (unlike their synthetic counterparts).
