Identity preservation

Other natural and nature identical preservatives with similar safety profile without the drawbacks of strong smell, strong colour, and short shelf life need to be developed to meet the consumer s needs. These would than gain the acceptance of the major multinational companies scientists and marketers, which would help to reduce overall allergy experienced from personal care products, and would enhance our lives and the standing of this industry.

The development of crops with modified fatty-acid profiles, developed through conventional breeding programmes, for example high erucic acid crops, also pose a risk to food crop chains. As such there is a requirement to ensure there is little or no risk of cross-fertilisation and intermixing with conventional cultivars, and to ensure identity preservation and separation of crop produce. Such systems have been running effectively for decades. 

It is imperative that separate combines are used for organic and conventional fields or combines undergo a thorough cleaning (a minimum of two hours) between conventional and organic fields. Iowa State University has a video describing the combine clean-out procedures (Combine Clean-Out Procedures for Identity-Preserved Grains, EDC-255). 

All specialty soybean oils require identity-preserved soybean production, cmsh-ing, and refining systems. As financial incentives are needed aU along the production process to compensate for increased costs of identity preservation, specialty soybean oils command premium consumer prices and have been slow to impact soybean oil markets. 

The genetically altered oils, 3% linolenic acid, and now 1% linolenic acid soybean oil, may become popular as zero trans-frying fats, as the size of the crop for these seeds advances. These oils would be zero trans- and no hydrogenation. As touted by the Better Bean Initiative, the 3% linolenic variety could become the mainstream variety, requiring no identity preservation. (Note If 3% linolenic acid soybean oil is lightly hydrogenated, less trans-would be produced because of the lower initial linolenic acid content). 

What shape variations accompany these identity-preserving molecular deformations ... 

The catchment region model provides precise conditions for chemical identity and for limitations on molecular distortions which preserve chemical identity. It also provides an approach to our second question What are the allowed shape variations which may accompany these identity-preserving molecular deformations ... 

The theory of fuzzy sets [382-385] has numerous contemporary applications in various fields of engineering [386-388], in the description of quantum mechanical uncertainty [389-393], in the study of molecular identity preserving deformations [106,251], in new approaches to the description of approximate symmetry [252,394,395], as well as in both static and dynamic shape characterization and dynamic shape similarity analysis of molecules [55,396]. 

Identity-preserved soybeans for food use are one of the primary markets where soybean size is important. Generally, tofu and soymilk processors prefer large soybeans (4,400—5,500 seeds/kg) natto producers prefer small soybeans (10,000—11,000 seeds/kg) and processors of miso prefer medium-sized soybeans that are uniform in size (Brumm, 2004). In soy products where minimal fiber is wanted, large soybeans have less seed coat (fiber) relative to total seed weight.

Opportunities may be available to use the method as the front-end to a soybean biorefinery to produce oil for biodiesel, ethanol from soy fiber (cell walls), and value-added protein products, and to integrate into small-scale, organic and identity-preserved processing strategies. In this approach (Fig. 11.20), several new steps were incorporated including step of flaking and twin-screw extruding to achieve more... 

The Extent of Identity-Preserving Deformations of Chemical Species... 

One example of a crop like this is maize (corn). If this species were to be planted, great lengths would have to be taken to avoid contamination, especially in the U.S. corn belt. Modified corn intended for pharmaceutical use is greatly restricted on this basis. However, other specialty corn crops are commercially grown in the United States that require identity preservation management practices. This value-added market is small, but an increasing part of crop production in the U.S.
