Multivariate methods combined with spectroscopic techniques have shown promise as a novel analytical strategy for addressing issues related to food fraud that cannot be solved by the analysis of one variable, particularly in complex matrices such distilled beverages. This review describes and discusses different aspects of whisky production, and recent developments of laboratory, in field and high throughput analysis. In particular, recent applications detailing the use of vibrational spectroscopy techniques combined with data analytical methods used to not only distinguish between brand and origin of whisky but to also detect adulteration are presented.

  • The British Pharmaceutical Industry Since 1851
    The British Pharmaceutical Industry Since 1851 T.A.B. Corley Centre for International Business History, University of Reading Britain’s pharmaceutical industry, like its petroleum industry, is one which possesses a national comparative advantage both technologically and in the balance of overseas trade; yet it is not easy to delineate. Until quite recently, some member companies also made ranges of different products such as foodstuffs, household goods and heavy chemicals. Moreover, many producers in the UK are subsidiaries of overseas pharmaceutical corporations. Even so, the companies involved do form a recognisable industry, competing among themselves in the field of high-technology health care. The outlines of such an industry began to emerge in the 1930s but became far more distinct after 1948 when the National Health Service (NHS) was set up. Official policies of actively encouraging the technological leaders – foreign as well as British – at the expense of the less adventurous followers, through its pricing and clinical testing rules for prescription drugs, allowed those comparative advantages to be built up. Vigorous competition flourishes also in marketing and in distribution to retail chemists and to other outlets for both ethical drugs and ‘over the counter’ remedies. This article outlines some of the principal changes that have taken place from 1851 onwards in the systems of manufacture and distribution of these medicines. It also addresses the question of how and why the transformation occurred from low- to high- 1 technology production, from small to large scale, and from dependence on imports of advanced drugs to a high degree of self-sufficiency at home.

British Imperialism and Oil: A History of British Petroleum, 1901-2016 Graham Hobbs Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD 2019 Department of Development Studies SOAS, University of London 1 Abstract This thesis presents a history of British Petroleum (BP), from its origins in 1901 until 2016, in the context of the history of British imperialism as a whole. It draws on Marxist studies of imperialism and the international political economy of oil. BP was a company of Britain’s empire. Its history begins in the “classical” age of imperialism. Its concessions were the products not just of inter-imperial rivalries but of inter-imperial alliances too. The change in the relative strengths of Britain and America necessitated a redistribution of control over Middle Eastern oil.
