    Health Canada’s Proposal to Enable the Use of Leuconostoc carnosum 4010 as an Antimicrobial Preservative in Certain Vacuum-Packed Non-Shelf-Stable Meat and Poultry Products Health Canada’s Proposal to Enable the Use of Leuconostoc carnosum 4010 as an Antimicrobial Preservative in Certain Vacuum-Packed Non-Shelf-Stable Meat and Poultry Products Notice of Proposal – Lists of Permitted Food Additives Reference Number: [NOP/AVP-0016] April 12, 2016 Bureau of Chemical Safety, Food Directorate, Health Products and Food Branch 1 Health Canada’s Proposal to Enable the Use of Leuconostoc carnosum 4010 as an Antimicrobial Preservative in Certain Vacuum-Packed Non-Shelf-Stable Meat and Poultry Products Summary Food additives are regulated in Canada under Marketing Authorizations (MAs) issued by the Minister of Health and the Food and Drug Regulations. Approved food additives and their permitted conditions of use are set out in the Lists of Permitted Food Additives that are incorporated by reference in the MAs and published on Health Canada’s website. A petitioner can request that Health Canada approve a new additive or a new condition of use for an already approved food additive by filing a food additive submission with the Department's Food Directorate. Health Canada uses this premarket approval process to determine whether the scientific data support the safety of food additives when used under specified conditions in foods sold in Canada. Health Canada received a food additive submission seeking approval for the use of the bacterium Leuconostoc carnosum 4010 as an antimicrobial preservative at a maximum level of use consistent with Good Manufacturing Practice in certain vacuum-packed non-shelf-stable meat and poultry products, namely: bologna, cervelat, frankfurters, mortadella, and wieners.

High-throughout High-throughput sequencing (HTS) sequencing (HTS) showed that the microbial composition changed greatly with the prolongation of storage time. The diversity of microbiota was abundant at the initial stage then experienced a continuous decrease. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) mainly Leuconostoc and Lactobacillus dominated the microbial population after seven days of storage. A total of 26 isolates were identified from different growth media using traditional cultivation isolation and identification method. Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Leuconostoc carnosum were the most prevalent species since day 15, while Lactobacillus sakei and Lactobacillus curvatus were only found on day 45, suggesting that they could be responsible for the spoilage of bacon.

In this mighty history, with its great cohesion and the power of radiation, Chongqing has been not only an ancient regional military and political center, but an important commercial material distribution center for thousands years which has keep its prosperity. In the last hundred years, by the reform and opening-up policy, Chongqing has taken off from an ancient military strategic past to become the hub of central and western of China. From an ancient regional trade center, it has become the economic center of Yangtze River. From a single type of re-export centre in the nineteenth century city it has grown into western China's largest multi-functional modern industrial and commercial city. From being the eastern port city of the Sichuan province it has developed to a municipality directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Government which is based on China and facing the World.

  • The Republic of China and U Black Cat Brigade
    21 March 2011 2012011111––––006006 Black Cat Brigade: The Republic of China and UU----22 Spyplanes. Essay by JiuJiuJiu-Jiu ---HwaHwa Lo Upshur, Eastern Michigan University (([email protected]@[email protected]).edu ).).). Nations have spied on one another since the beginning of history, only the methods have changed, in part due to advances in technology. Aerial spying began with the deployment of balloons during the Franco- Prussian War (1870–71) and had progressed to satellite surveillance a mere century later. Much is known about the role of American U-2 surveillance planes and the information they obtained about Soviet bloc countries during the 1950s. However, less is known about the U-2 flights by the air force pilots of the Republic of China (henceforth ROC or Taiwan) and the data they obtained about the People’s Republic of China (henceforth PRC or China). The top secret collaboration between the United States and the ROC remained closely guarded until around 1990, after which the nature, duration, and extent of their cooperation gradually became known. Three recent books, one in English and two in Chinese, provide ex- tensive, hitherto unavailable details about the ROC’s U-2 missions and the pilots who flew them. Lost Black Cats: 1 Story of Two Captured U-2 Pilots 2 was written by H. Mike Hua, himself a former U-2 pi- lot who completed ten reconnaissance missions over mainland China. He later rose to the rank of lieute- nant general in the ROC Air Force, earned a doctorate at Purdue University, and worked in aircraft development after retiring from active service.

Summary Bacteria live in almost any imaginable environment, from the most extreme envi- ronments (e.g. in hydrothermal vents) to the bovine and human gastrointestinal tract. By adapting to such diverse environments, they have developed a large arsenal of enzymes involved in a wide variety of biochemical reactions. While some such enzymes support our digestion or can be used for the optimization of biotechnological processes, others may be harmful { e.g. mediating the roles of bacteria in human diseases.

  • How New and Assertive Is China's New Assertiveness?
    China’s New Assertiveness? How New and Alastair Iain Johnston Assertive Is China’s New Assertiveness? In recent years, it has become increasingly common in U.S. media, pundit, and academic circles to describe the diplomacy of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as newly or increasingly assertive.1 Some observers have even suggested that this new as- sertiveness reºects a fundamental shift in Chinese diplomacy away from Beijing’s more status quo–oriented behavior of the previous thirty years.2 Many believe that it reºects a conscious decision by the top leadership in the wake of the 2008–09 ªnancial crisis to be much more proactive in challenging U.S. interests in East Asia and, indeed, elsewhere around the world. The new assertiveness meme has “gone viral” in the U.S. media, the blogosphere, and in scholarly work. This article argues, however, that the new assertiveness meme underesti- mates the degree of assertiveness in certain policies in the past, and overes- timates the amount of change in China’s diplomacy in 2010 and after. Much of China’s diplomacy in 2010 fell within the range in foreign policy preferences, diplomatic rhetoric, and foreign policy behavior established in the Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao eras. Moreover, the claims about a new assertiveness typically do not provide a deªnition of assertiveness, are unclear about the causal mech- anisms behind this shift toward assertiveness, and lack comparative rigor that better contextualizes China’s diplomacy in 2010. Why should policymakers and scholars worry about a problematic charac- terization of Chinese foreign policy? Putting aside the intellectual importance of accurately measuring the dependent variable in the study of a major power’s foreign policy, there are two good reasons.
