Professional Agricultural Workers Journal

Abstract

Interest in local and regional food production has been growing in the last few years. The study, therefore, assessed consumer attitudes and beliefs regarding local or regional livestock products. Data were obtained from a convenience sample of 384 participants from several counties of Georgia, and were analyzed by descriptive statistics, including chi-square tests. A majority of respondents thought using chemicals and additives in locally or regionally produced beef or goat meat was a serious or somewhat serious hazard. Consequently, many were willing to pay more for meat certified as locally or regionally produced. Furthermore, a majority agreed or strongly …

Food and Machinery

Cyanide is considered to be one of the most toxic species in food while the existing detection methods involve complex operation and will produce toxicity to inspectors. In this study, a water-soluble fluorescent probe(C-GGH) was synthesized by HOBT/DIC protocol in solution using 7-diethylaminocoumarin-3-carboxylic acid, Glycine and Histidine. Due to the presence of the recognition unit GGH, the probe C-GGH can conjugated with Cu²⁺ to formed non-fluorescent C-GGH-Cu²⁺ complex. Due to the strong binding affinity of CN^- to Cu²⁺, CN^- can extract Cu²⁺ from C-GGH-Cu²⁺ complex, leading to the release of C-GGH and …
