Petitions by the National Fisheries Institute for approval of irradiation treatment to control food-borne pathogens in raw or processed crustaceans are pending at the regulatory authorities in the United States [70]. 

Apart from academic organizations, the NCI (National Cancer Institute) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) have initiated a collaboration to focus on using proteomic technologies to develop more targeted treatments and more reliable diagnostic kits for early detection of cancer. In mid-2001, researchers analyzed a series of tumor cells from different patients and came up with a roster of proteins present in cancer cells. These are distinct molecules not found in normal cells. In early 2002, scientists involved in this program reported that it is possible to compare... 

Additionally there is an increasing interest in carotenoids because of their potentially beneficial health effects, such as provitamin A, anticarcinogenic, antiulcer, antiaging, and antioxidant properties and increased immune responses (27,28). Because the vitamin A potential of cis isomers is less than those of their all-trans counterparts, it is important to distinguish and quantify the various forms (29). According to reports and clinical studies carotenes may be important in the prevention of some forms of cancer (30). Since the National Cancer Institute has recommended an increased intake of food high in carotenoids (31), more detailed information about the carotenoid composition of foodstuffs is desirable.
