Applications of Biotechnology in Food By: Prof. Jagadish Pai Introduction Since ancient times, microorganisms have been used for a variety of applications in food. Fermented beverages, cheese, bread etc. were produced using microbes although people were not aware of the role of microbes until Louis Pasteur showed about 200 years ago the cause of fermentation and spoilage and laid the foundation of microbiology. The word biotechnology was coined towards the end of World War I in reference to intensive agricultural methods. UN Convention defined it as any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof to make or modify products or processes for specific use. Although biotechnology has been used in pharmaceutical, medicine, non-food agriculture, cosmetics, textile, detergent, chemicals, fuel and environmental uses, it is commonly associated with agricultural food production and processing. Modern biotechnology is associated only to products or processes involving genetic engineering. Global market for biotechnology products is already well over US $200 billion and is expected to reach well over US $300 billion by 2015. Currently most applications are in health care industry while agriculture and food applications are growing rapidly. Biotechnology seeds market reached over US $13 billion. Farmers throughout the world are cultivating improved seeds resistant to herbicides and insects.

This inventory or catalogue of seeds and plants includes a number of exceptionally valuable items collected by the Agricultural Explorers of the Section of Seed and Plant Introduction. There is an interest- ing and valuable series of economic plants of the most varied uses procured by the Hon. Harbour Lathrop, of Chicago, assisted by Mr. David G. Fairchild. Mr. W. T. Swingle has continued his work in Algeria, Sicily, and Turkey, and this list contains many of his impor- tations. There are also a number of donations from various sources, and a few seeds purchased directly from the growers. The following importations represent perhaps the most valuable of the many interesting novelties here described: Mr. Swingle's col- lection of improved varieties of the date palm, procured in Algeria; a collection of spineless cacti from the Argentine Republic secured by Messrs. Lathrop and Fairchild, which may become valuable forage plants in the arid Southwest; genge clover, a leguminous forage crop and green manure which is grown in the rice fields of Japan as a winter soil cover and fertilizer; a collection of broad beans from England, this vegetable being practically unknown in the United States, although extensively used in Europe and on the Continent; a new seedless raisin grape from Italy for the raisin growers of California and Arizona; a little sample of wheat from Peru, donated by Dr.

Scripps Research Institute, USA 9. Purdue University, USA 10. Emory University School of Medicine, USA Abstract Regulator of G protein Signaling, or RGS, proteins serve an important regulatory role in signaling mediated by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). They all share a common RGS domain that directly interacts with active, GTP-bound Gα subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins. RGS proteins stabilize the transition state for GTP hydrolysis on Gα and thus induce a conformational change in the Gα subunit that accelerates GTP hydrolysis, thereby effectively turning off signaling cascades mediated by GPCRs. This GTPase accelerating protein (GAP) activity is the canonical mechanism of action for RGS proteins, although many also possess additional functions and domains.

    k CHAPTER 1 History, origin and taxonomy of cocoa 1.1 Introduction Chocolate is derived from the cocoa bean, which is obtained from the fruit of the cocoa tree, Theobroma cacao (Linnaeus). The term ‘Cocoa’ is a corruption of the word ‘Cacao’ that is taken directly from Mayan and Aztec languages. It is indigenous to Central and South America and believed to have originated from the Amazon and Orinoco valleys. Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is one of the most important agricultural export commodities in the world and forms the back- bone of the economies of some countries in West Africa, South America and South-East Asia. It is the leading foreign exchange earner and a great source of income for many families in most of the world’s developing countries. In Ghana, cocoa is the second highest foreign exchange earner and an estimated 1 million farmers and their families depend on it for their livelihood (Afoakwa, 2014). Currently, in 2016, cocoa is cultivated on an estimated land size of 8 million k k hectares in the tropics and secures the livelihoods of about 50 million people globally. More than 8 million of them are mainly smallholder farmers with an average farm size of just 3–4 hectares and an average family size of eight. Of these, some 1.5 million are within West Africa, the most important cocoa-growing region. Such families frequently live exclusively on cocoa farming and processing and are thus dependent mainly on cocoa for their livelihoods. Hence the eco- nomic importance of cocoa cannot be over-emphasized and the current global market value of annual cocoa crop is over $8.1 billion (World Cocoa Foundation, 2014).

  • Umami Café by AJINOMOTO CO
    Umami Café BY AJINOMOTO CO. The Tea Experience For centuries, green tea has been treasured throughout Asia for its healthful, restorative qualities. In Japan, Zen priests drank green tea to keep them awake through long hours of meditation. In the 16th century, a man named Sen no Rikyù, influenced by the study of Zen, envisioned a path to enlightenment through the simple act of sharing a bowl of tea among friends in the spirit of peace and harmony—a practice he called wabi-cha. For Rikyu, making tea while mindfully engaging all the senses was to have a complete Zen experience. We are pleased to have you share a moment of quiet joy with us and experience the spirit of Japanese culture through a simple bowl of tea. Tea Sets We’ve paired traditional teas with Japanese sweets. A great place to start. Matcha with Hanabira Mochi GF V $14 Sencha with Fried Rice A bowl of hand-whisked, jade green matcha is paired with a traditional Japanese tea ceremony sweet.
