The importance of enzymes in modern food biotechnology Introduction: The use of enzymes outside their natural environment in food technology gets more and more important. Although the application of enzymes as food additives or in processing raw materials has been used since a long time, it gets more and more popular and also crucial for many processes. Especially because enzymes are labelled with the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) tag, they are very desirable for industries and also…

Written Assignment An Exemption for Whaling 1. I do not agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption. This is due to the fact that although these species of whale are not endangered the demand for their meat is very low at 1% of its peak in the 1960s in Japan (Ramage et al., 2015). Furthermore, this practise of whaling is mainly funded by the taxpayers’ money and is ultimately working at a loss. Subsidies…

of food last. Johnson states, “If a survey-taker asks them whether ethical food is important, most people say yes. But when they have to rate how important that is against other issues … it becomes relatively unimportant. Wallets always take the top spot, and preaching is pretty ineffective.” One of the only ways to have others turn vegan/vegetarian would be to have forcible governmental intervention in which people are forced to refuse meat. However, as Sunita Narain states, in her article Why…

Hamad Aldawood Project 1 Harris,Joel English 107 Is the use of GMOs Ethical? The application of recombinant technology to make transformations to plants as well as animals resulting in genetically modified foods is an important topic of discussion. GMOs play a significant role in reducing the costs of farm productions alongside other benefits to the farmers. On the other hand, they come with significant environmental as well as food safety risks that increase the nature and the occurrence of…

However, chemicals aren’t the only ways to control disease. Quarantine can be a simple way to stop the spread of disease. As Randy Ploetz, a professor of plant pathology, says in his article: “In pathogen-free regions, effective quarantine and exclusion are essential.” Once soil is infected by Panama disease there is no way to remove it (Ploetz). Quarantine can slow the spread but diseases like Panama and Black Sigatoka are easily tracked in on boots, farming equipment or machinery. The Farmer…

Safety Authority, stating that there is no scientific evidence that there is a risk to human and animal health or the environment. 10 years of European Union-funded research came to the same conclusions about Bt safety (Zhang, 2012). The so called “Golden Rice” is however the most noteworthy example in the global controversy. It is a GM variety of rice that produces beta-carotene in the endosperm, which enables humans to produce Vitamin A. This is important because Vitamin A deficiency (VAD)…

The GMO products have covered the whole world almost completely. GMO foods have been growing since they were invented. Therefore, it is concluded that industrialized food is good for you more than it is bad for you because it fights malnutrition and is very healthy. The first reason GMO is good for you is that it fights malnutrition. Even though this may be linked to dangerous effects, research is still needed for those subjects. Starving children die because of malnutrition. Tons of tons of…

My results did not support my hypothesis because the seeds that were with the regular coffee and the decaf coffee did not nearly grow as progressively as the seeds grown with water. Whereas I thought the seeds submerged in the coffee would grow more efficiently then the seeds with the water. Decaf grew at the slowest rate and after eight days only got to one centimeter, regular coffee grew to an also very low three centimeter, and water grew at a large 7.4 centimeters. These results were how…

Another reason GMOs aren’t very successful is because there are alternatives to these foods. Just because we have a new way to engineer and grow crops doesn’t mean we have to eat it. We have been developing agriculture for thousands of years, so we can choose not only our foods, but also how they are grown. The New Leaf potato ran into this problem. The New Leaf potato reduced the need for pesticides because of its genetic modification. It wasn’t successful because people had the ability to make…
