Department of Nutrition and Food Studies Scholarship and Creative Works

Abstract: Raw almonds are a major commodity, yet much is unknown about how storage conditions determine their shelf life. The storage stability, as measured by consumer assessments and chemical measures, of raw almonds was determined for samples stored in cardboard boxes and polypropylene packaging for 2 years at 4, 15, 25, and 35 °C, and at 50% and 65% relative humidity (RH). Samples stored in unlined cartons always failed (>25% rejection) before their counterparts stored in polypropylene bags under identical environmental conditions. Models determined that polypropylene packaging (as opposed to unlined cardboard cartons) extended the time until sample rejection …

The Legal Regulation On The Use Of Non-Gm(O) Label On Food, Liu Xuxia, Wang Qi

Food and Machinery

Non-GM(O) label is widely used on food in our country. The existence of information asymmetry increase the risk of misuse of non-GM(O) label,while the market mechanism itself can not regulate the misuse. In China,the legislation regulating the non-GM(O) label is not specific, thus misuse of non-GM(O) label was generally not considered to be illegal in judicial decision. Existing research mainly focuses on non-GM(O ) advertising instead of non-GM(O) label. By contrast, there are specific legislation which restrict the scope of food on which the non-GM(O) label can be used in Germany, Japan and the United States. The use of Non-GM(O) …
