Industry segmented

The food producing industry has responded to consumer demand for foods with lower fat content (Table 1). Foods with low or no cholesterol claims leaped 78% from 1980 to 1990, in spite of the fact that many of the principal food producers reduced the amount of new product introductions during 1989 and 1990 (7). Table 2 indicates the change in the market for various food industry segments, especially those suspected as fat problem generators, including dairy and meat foods. Many low fat and low cholesterol foods were created by a dding claims to food that have always been low in fat and/or cholesterol. 

A Methylolhydantoins. l,3-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-5,5-dimethyIhydantoia [6440-58-0] is used extensively as a preservative in cosmetic and industrial appHcations, and carries EPA registration for the industrial segment. It is available in soHd and in aqueous solution forms, including low free formaldehyde versions of the latter. A related derivative, l,3-bis(hydroxyethyl)-5,5-dimethyIhydantoia [26850-24-8] is used in the manufacture of high temperature polyesters, polyurethanes, and coatings, offering improved heat resistance, uv stabiUty, flexibiUty, and adhesion.

However, there was a reahzahon that the various industry segments were actually in the order that would be expected, that is, the pharmaceuhcal industry in general should produce more waste per kilo than the fine chemical industry, which in turn should produce more waste than the bulk chemical industry because of issues of molecular complexity and synthesis length. The target for each industry segment should be to improve and, ideally, move up to the next level (see Table 16.1) [2].
