摘要:

Local authorities are responsible in the UK for the enforcement of trading standards and consumer protection legislation. The paper describes the role of the Local Authorities Coordinating Body on Trading Standards (LACOTS) in coordinating the work of trading standards authorities, environmental health directors, and public analysts. LACOTS has additional functions as a pressure group to encourage the writing of laws as clearly and simply as possible, and as a liaison body with other European States in relation to EEC regulations and their enforcement.

摘要:

In the United Kingdom, the machinery of pollution control has developed over the years in response to new, potential environmental hazards and awareness of their implications, and because of public and governmental concern at the possible effect on human health. In consequence, we are at an advanced stage in the development and adoption of environmental policies, and this paper provides an overall guide to the legislation and controls that now exist and their particular impact on the UK dairy industry is discussed.

摘要:

The commercial methods of isolation of the main milk proteins marketed in the dried form, casein, caseinates and whey proteins, are described, together with process developments for the production of other types of dried protein. Production statistics and present world markets are discussed in relation to Government policies, and possible market developments based on new types of product are considered.

摘要:

Defects in cottage cheese curd were examined by electron microscopy and the structure of defective curd was compared with that of normal curd at cutting. The formation of the minor sludge frequently found as a thin layer at the bottom of vats was attributed to the very lowpH produced by the sedimentation of agglutinated starter bacteria. In contrast, the ultrastructural appearance of curd from incidents of major sludging, in which whole vats were lost, suggested that a slowing down of acid production had caused the defect by allowing aggregated micelles to sediment. It is suggested that in such cases loss of acid production is the result of starter destruction by low initial numbers of bacteriophages.

摘要:

The paper sets out the importance of dairy sheep in the economies of the Mediterranean Basin and points to the world shortage of ewe's milk, and the increasing demand for it, both as milk and as the products made from it, much of today's demand being met from cow's milk substitutes for original sheep products. The dairy ewe is described. Five thousand ewes, the nucleus of a new industry, are being milked in Britain today in both autumn and spring lambing flocks. Tables show the milk yields from different breeds; the composition of ewe's milk compared to that of the goat and cow; and the contribution of ewe's and cow's milk to the human daily needs of minerals and vitamins. Some of the unique qualities of ewe's milk in the making of products are discussed as well as its behaviour in the making of cheese. Its special properties in the field of food intolerances are touched on. The sheep is suggested as an alternative dairy animal.

摘要:

Lactose or milk sugar is the characteristic carbohydrate of milk and is the only sugar of animal origin. Lactose is a di‐saccharide of glucose plus galactose and is found in the three forms α‐lactose‐monohydrate, β‐lactose‐anhydride and amorphous lactose. β‐lactose in its stable and available non‐hygroscopic form is the commercial form of lactose. Lactose finds increasing applications as an excipient in pharmaceuticals, baby food, confectionery and many food recipes. Enzymatically hydrolysed lactose, especially in whey or whey derivatives, becomes increasingly interesting owing to its higher sweetness, functionality in toffee and ice cream and application in foods for people with lactose malabsorption. Lactitol, a new reduced‐calorie sweetener, is a sugar alcohol derived from lactose. Lactitol does not affect the blood glucose nor the insulin content, so it is a valuable sugar for diabetics. Lactitol is non‐cariogenic. Lactulose, a di‐saccharide of galactose and fructose, finds application in infant nutrition and medicine. The presence of lactulose in infant formula encourages the development of Bacterium bifidum in the intestinal flora. A medical use is the treatment of portal systemic encephalopathy an
