Yes, transgenic crops can developed for abiotic and biotic stress. For example, Bt brinja and Bt cotton are developed to reduce the consumption of harmful chemical pesticides and therefore, are one of the major components of IPM. Biosafty issues...

transgenics in crops is the most popularised trend in agriculture now a days . as the conditions of improving crop varities are geettin worsened by the uncertain rains n prices soring so high biotechnology can help to a greater extent

By Guy Montague-Jones, Legislation has come into force requiring food companies to report potentially dangerous products to the FDA within 24 hours of discovery. Conceived as a means of refocusing the food safety system on prevention, the requirement is a result of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Amendments Act of 2007.The legislation directed the FDA to set up the Reportable Food Registry (RFP), an electronic portal through which companies must now report potential safety threats. Covering all foods regulated by the FDA, with the exception of infant formula and dietary supplements, the new system replaces a voluntary approach to reporting with a legally binding requirement to notify...

A probiotic strain that can survive being baked, boiled and frozen – opening up a raft of new opportunities in functional foods – is being launched on the UK market. The probiotic strain GanedenBC30 ( Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086), developed by US-based Ganeden Biotech, can be used in everything from hot tea to muffins, frozen yogurts and cereal bars, said Cornelius, a UK-based ingredients distributor which has just struck a deal to supply it to the UK market. To date, most products containing traditional probiotic organisms such as lactobacillus, acidophilus and bifidobacteria have been in the chilled, short-life dairy category, Joy Thomas, business manager, health and food, at Corneliu...

Efficiency and environmental protection are the twin benefits claimed for what is said to be Canada’s first organic preservative and disinfectant for use with food products from food to table. Biosecur has just received official certification from the US Department of Agriculture, National Organic Program and the organic control and certification group Ecocert. Designed for use as a broad-spectrum preservative and disinfectant for food products and food processing, it kills more than 99.999 per cent of common bacteria just 15 to 30 seconds after contact, according to independent laboratory tests. Effective at low doses, the product proved effective against common pathogens at concentrations...

By Jess Halliday, The West may be grappling with recession, but now is the time for businesses and governments to invest in agriculture and processing facilities around the world to stave off a massive food security problem by 2050, says the FAO. The central theme of this year’s World Food Day on Friday 16th October, and the week leading up to it, is ‘Achieving Food Security in Times of Crisis’. And while food businesses are notching up the effects of the crisis on their own bottom lines, the effects are being felt most in developing countries. At the same time, emerging and developing economies, such as parts of Asia and Africa, are showing the most positive growth for many international...

‘Unknown’ cholesterol in processed food poses big heart health risk Scientists from the Chinese University of Hong Kong identified fried and processed food as the main sources of oxycholesterol in the diet, statements that may lead to louder calls to reformulate towards ‘healthier’ foods. 'Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), and the heart-healthy high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) are still important health issues,' said lead researcher Zhen-Yu Chen, PhD. 'Our work demonstrated that oxycholesterol boosts total cholesterol levels and promotes atherosclerosis ['hardening of the arteries'] more than non-oxidized cholesterol.'

The word 'Push' has traditionally characterized FMCG sales systems in India. This is changing for the better in many ways. Sales in many companies like HLL, Marico and Colgate is secondary driven. Let me explain this to a reader who is new to sales jargons. Secondary driven basically means that retail orders to the distributor (secondary sale), which are a function of sales from the retail shelf(offtakes), determine the volume of primaries (billing from the company to the distributors - primary sale). In traditional sales systems the disproportionately high targets were driven by billing high volume of stocks to the distributors (primaries) without there being an adequate movement of stock from the distributor point to the trade (secondaries). This system worked as long as the brands has a demand (pull) that was proportionate to this loading. However in case of inadequate offtakes, this extra stock used to lie at the distributor point or die in the shelves of the retailer. In case...

Cadbury India Ltd. Brand “Cadbury Dairymilk” has already been taken strong position in Indian chocolate market. Now, Cadbury Dairymilk is trying to make strong brand loyalty brand acceptance. As well, since Cadbury Dairymilk has introduced concept “Shubh Aarambh (Auspicious Beginning)”, it became really “Shubh (Auspicious)” as well as still getting positive result. There is punch line “ Kuchh Mitha Ho Jaye (Do some Sweet Taste)” which really influence towards end-users (consumers). The core competency of brand Cadbury Dairymilk can be “Kuch Mitha Ho Jaye (Sweet Tatse), Aaj Mithe mein kya hai” as well as unique packing . Today, consumers are speaking willingly “Kuch Mitha Ho Jaye (Sweet Tatse), Aaj Mithe mein kya hai”. So, brand itself positioned in the mind of consumers that really gives “ Value for Money”.

Rahul Dravid announced his retirement and suddenly we find a new member in the team. Some people think he should have retired earlier while other say he should have continued playing. But all in all I find his decision of making space for someone new right. We need the 'new' generation to come u and replace old before it is too late. This is not only applicable to the game but everywhere. Yes specially politics. During the recent elections when the elephant was run over by the cycle we all knew its going to be one of them. It rarely makes any difference who it is. In cricket the selector don't want to let go the experienced and in politics the inexperienced do not want to jump in. How often do we find a new bee out of an unknown background coming up for a change. If we ask our-self would we be up to participate in the dirty job? I presume that perhaps the answer is 'NO' My question is how can we convince, teach and encourage the new generation to participate in the process of...
