Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Europiiische Akademie is concerned with the study of scientific and technolog ical advances for the individual, society and the natural environment. The work of the academy is interdisciplinary drawing on relevant academic disciplines so far as they can inform the debate on consequences and suggest solutions. This book is dedicated to the issue of Functional Foods, a rather topical issue with important ramifications for the overall quality of life. It is the result of the Europiiische Akademie's working group "Functional Foods" which worked from January 2001 to June 2003. Since the times of Hippocrates, we view "food as our medicine, and medicine as our food"; a view that is confirmed by nowadays science which agrees that diet is related to health, well-being and the prevention of disease. At the same time, food related diseases have reached epidemic proportions in western societies while obe sity is spreading rapidly in all parts and strata of modern society. The cost for the health system is significant while the reduction in quality of life is immeasurable.

Book excerpt: In unseren Lebensmitteln sind 70.000 bis 100.000 künstliche Stoffe bekannt. Das kann beunruhigen, wenn man bedenkt, dass das, was man isst, sich eines Tages in den Knochen, im Herzen, ja sogar im Gehirn wiederfindet. Und nicht nur gesundheitliche Gründe sprechen für qualitativ hochwertige Bio-Lebensmittel. Viele entscheiden sich auch aus Gründen wie Klimaschutz und artgerechter Tierhaltung dafür. Doch wie erkenne ich Bio-Produkte zweifelsfrei? Bei welchen Lebensmitteln ist es wichtig und wann geht es zur Not auch konventionell? In ihrem Ratgeber stellt Dr. Andrea Flemmer Angebot und Umfeld von Bio auf den Prüfstand. Sie nennt alle guten Gründe für Bio-Lebensmittel, gibt einen Überblick über die Biosiegel und erklärt, warum Bio seinen Preis wirklich wert ist.

Download or read book Mediterranean Fruits Bio wastes written by Mohamed Fawzy Ramadan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-18 with total page 844 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional Mediterranean fruits (i.e., be grapes, oranges, apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, figs, melons, watermelon and dates) are of major commercial and nutritional value to the region. Processing of such fruits, however, results in large amounts of bio-waste material. Efficient, inexpensive and environmentally friendly use of fruit industry waste is thus highly cost-effective and minimizes environmental impact. The natural antioxidants and bioactive compounds found in Mediterranean fruit bio-wastes could play a major role in the alleged health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, and could be used in pharmaceuticals as well as novel food applications. This book presents a multidisciplinary forum of discussion on the chemistry, functional properties and health-promoting effects of bioactive compounds in Mediterranean fruit bio-wastes, as well as novel food and non-food applications. The text provides the scientific fundamentals of the health-promoting benefits and applications of Mediterranean fruit bio-wastes, reviews the relevant recovery issues and explores different techniques to develop new applications. With a diversity of perspectives, from food science to environmental chemistry and horticultural research, this volume provides comprehensive, up-to-date knowledge to researchers and industry professionals working in the areas of food waste valorization.

Download or read book Human Health and Ecological Integrity written by Laura Westra and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The connection between environment and health has been well studied and documented, particularly by the World Health Organization. It is now being included in some legal instruments, although for the most part caselaw does not explicitly make that connection. Neither the right to life nor the rights to health or to normal development are actually cited in the resolution of cases and in judges' decisions. This volume makes the connection explicit in a broad review of human rights and legal issues associated with public health and the environment. It will be particularly useful as many legal instruments emphasize the right to 'development' without fully discussing the necessary safety and public health aspects, and the respect for the ecology of any area where such 'development' (often unwanted by local or indigenous communities) is to be located. Climate change is another pressing variable that is considered, and several chapters address the interface between human health and ecological conditions. Overall the book integrates perspectives from a wide range of disciplines, including ethics, ecology, public health and epidemiology, and human rights and law.

Download or read book Bio Lebensmittel als Beitrag f r eine nachhaltige Ern hrung written by Niels Schirrmeister and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fachbuch aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Ernährungswissenschaft, , Veranstaltung: Ernährungsökologie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Ernährungsverhalten der Menschen in den Industrieländern hat sich gewandelt. Ging es noch vor 50 Jahren in vielen Industrieländern um die bloße Ernährungssicherung, so besteht heutzutage ein breites Angebot an Lebensmitteln, das in dieser Vielfalt nie zuvor da gewesen ist. Ermöglicht wird dies durch eine hoch effiziente Landwirtschaft und einer modernen Lebensmittelindustrie. Doch der gestiegene Bedarf an Lebensmitteln kann fast ausschließlich durch Massenproduktion gedeckt werden. Dies hat unkalkulierbare Auswirkungen auf die Natur und den Menschen. Bodenerosion, Trinkwasserbelastung, Pflanzenschutz- und Arzneimittelrückstände, Massentierhaltung, Zentralisierung und Konzentrierung von Betrieben sowie schlechte Arbeitsbedingungen in den Entwicklungsländern sind nur einige Folgen der Massenproduktion von Lebensmitteln. Aufgrund der nur schwer abzuschätzenden Langzeitfolgen und der Gefahr, dass zukünftige Generationen diesen Wohlstand nicht mehr ausschöpfen können und des gegenwärtigen Raubbaus an der Natur hat sich das Leitbild einer nachhaltigen Ernährung entwickelt. Dieses Leitbild wird durch verschiedene Modelle erklärt beziehungsweise ergänzt, in dem die positiven Auswirkungen einer nachhaltigen Ernährungsweise beziehungsweise die negativen Folgen der Produktion auf Masse in den verschiedenen Bereichen wie, der Gesellschaft, Natur, Wirtschaft, Politik und des einzelnen Menschen analysiert werden kann. Spätestens seit der ersten Öko-Verordnung (EWG) Nr. 2092/91 im Jahre 1991 sind Bio-Lebensmittel fest im europäischen Markt integriert. Dies hat zu zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Aktivitäten geführt, um die Frage zu beantworten, wodurch sich Bio-Lebensmittel von konventionell hergestellten Lebensmitteln unterscheiden. (Mayer-Miebach, 2010) Ob Bio-Lebensmittel ernährungsphysiologisch wertvoller sind oder im Sinne des Leitbildes einer nachhaltigen Ernährung ökonomisch, soziale und/oder ökologische Auswirkungen haben, soll in dieser Arbeit anhand eines ausgewählten Modells näher recherchiert werden.

Download or read book Looking east looking west written by Bill Slee and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a unique collection of European and Asian perspectives on the production, trade and consumption of high quality food. The rapidly growing demand for organic and quality food in Europe imposes new challenges on competing food value chains. Europe, as the biggest worldwide food importer, attracts many developing and developed countries in Asia. Prospering Chinese and Thai food markets offer new opportunities for European operators. Wealthy and informed consumers on both continents search for trustworthy high quality food products. Farmers, operators and retailers from distant cultures are coping with different standards, facing the ever increasing necessity for mutual understanding. This publication is the output of Bean-Quorum, a European funded Asia-Link project. Bean-Quorum represents a consolidated network of researchers working together with the business sector and NGOs to enhance European Asian understanding about organic and quality food. This book describes global trends in organic and quality food trade and connects them with recent developments in Asian and European market structures. Selected case studies illustrate the impact of organic and quality food production on topics ranging from sustainable rural development, to the potential of exotic new plant varieties to purchase decisions of European or Asian retail managers. Selected European markets are mirrored by the situation in Chinese and Thai markets. Finally, environmental issues concerning global trade of quality food are addressed.

Download or read book Biology of Microorganisms on Grapes in Must and in Wine written by Helmut König and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient beverage wine is the result of the fermentation of grape must. This n- urally and fairly stable product has been and is being used by many human societies as a common or enjoyable beverage, as an important means to improve the quality of drinking water in historical times, as therapeutical agent, and as a religious symbol. During the last centuries, wine has become an object of scientific interest. In this respect different periods may be observed. At first, simple observations were recorded, and subsequently, the chemical basis and the involvement of microorg- isms were elucidated. At a later stage, the scientific work led to the analysis of the many minor and trace compounds in wine, the detection and understanding of the biochemical reactions and processes, the diversity of microorganisms involved, and the range of their various activities. In recent years, the focus shifted to the genetic basis of the microorganisms and the molecular aspects of the cells, including metabolism, membrane transport, and regulation. These different stages of wine research were determined by the scientific methods that were known and available at the respective time. The recent “molecular” approach is based on the analysis of the genetic code and has led to significant results that were not even imaginable a few decades ago. This new wealth of information is being presented in the Biology of Microorganisms on Grapes, in Must, and in Wine.
