摘要:

Dairy laboratories are responsible for measuring the quality of ingredients, intermediate products and finished products. A particular challenge in the food processing sector is that consistently high quality products must be made from raw material which varies widely in composition and to some extent in quality. Consequently, routine milk sampling and analysis form part of the quality control system in any dairy plant. Sampling and data collection begin at the milk collection point on the farm, and so the collection truck must be considered part of the informationlquality control management system. Computerized information management systems relieve the workload on the laboratory manager by assisting with tasks such as organizing the workload; tracking samples; monitoring instruments; acquiring, storing, reporting and analysing test data; and with additional functions such as Good Laboratory Practice and IS0 9000. Of particular significance to laboratories is that computer interfaces and computer technology inside analytical instruments have opened new ways of integrating on‐line measurements in the process, and on‐line laboratory data. With the increasing rationalization of the dairy industry there are fewer laboratories, and a laboratory often processes samples for several factories, which requires good integration. The number of samples which are submitted is increased and the cost of automation becomes justif

摘要:

The dramatic changes in food consumption revealed in the recentHousehold Food Consumption and Expenditure 1990survey, which studies trends over the period 1940–90, are reviewed. The increase in the number of meals eaten away from home is discussed together with the underlying causes for the changes in the United Kingdom. The factors which influence the consumer's choice of food are complex and must be added to variables such as Pavour, texture, appearance, advertising etc. Demographic and household role changes and the introduction of microwave ovens have produced changes in eating habits, a reduction in traditional cooking, fragmentation of family meals and an increase in snacking. The vigorous sale of chilled and other prepared foods is related to the large numbers of working wives and single people who require and value convenience. Developments in retailing, with the concentration of 80% of food sales in supermarkets, is also important. Consumers are responding to messages about safety and healthy eating—they are concerned about the way in which food is produced and want safe, ‘natural’, high quality food at an appropriate price. The increase in sales of organic produce probably relates to concerns about intensive farming methods and animal welfare. The choice of food by young people—future consumers—has caused some concern. The introduction of the Single Market in 1993 with the free movement of people and goods within Europe should alter food choice for consumers. Many consumer organizations are concerned about lower standards of consumer protection and the implications for
