Shelf-Stable Food Safety
United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service Food Safety Information PhotoDisc Shelf-Stable Food Safety ver since man was a hunter-gatherer, he has sought ways to preserve food safely. People living in cold climates Elearned to freeze food for future use, and after electricity was invented, freezers and refrigerators kept food safe. But except for drying, packing in sugar syrup, or salting, keeping perishable food safe without refrigeration is a truly modern invention. What does “shelf stable” Foods that can be safely stored at room temperature, or “on the shelf,” mean? are called “shelf stable.” These non-perishable products include jerky, country hams, canned and bottled foods, rice, pasta, flour, sugar, spices, oils, and foods processed in aseptic or retort packages and other products that do not require refrigeration until after opening. Not all canned goods are shelf stable. Some canned food, such as some canned ham and seafood, are not safe at room temperature. These will be labeled “Keep Refrigerated.” How are foods made In order to be shelf stable, perishable food must be treated by heat and/ shelf stable? or dried to destroy foodborne microorganisms that can cause illness or spoil food. Food can be packaged in sterile, airtight containers. All foods eventually spoil if not preserved. CANNED FOODS What is the history of Napoleon is considered “the father” of canning. He offered 12,000 French canning? francs to anyone who could find a way to prevent military food supplies from spoiling. Napoleon himself presented the prize in 1795 to chef Nicholas Appert, who invented the process of packing meat and poultry in glass bottles, corking them, and submerging them in boiling water. -

And Geothermal Power in Iceland a Study Trip
2007:10 TECHNICAL REPORT Hydro- and geothermal power in Iceland A study trip Ltu and Vattenfall visit Landsvirkjun May 1-5, 2007 Isabel Jantzer Luleå University of Technology Department of Civil, Mining and Environmental Engineering Division of Mining and Geotechnical Engineering 2007:10|: 102-1536|: - -- 07⁄10 -- Hydro- and geothermal power in Iceland A study trip Ltu and Vattenfall visit Landsvirkjun May 1 – 5, 2007 Iceland is currently constructing the largest hydropower dam in Europe, Kárahnjúkar. There are not many possibilities to visit such construction sites, as the opportunity to expand hydropower is often restricted because of environmental or regional regulations limitations. However, the study trip, which was primarily designed for the visitors from Vattenfall, gave a broad insight in the countries geology, energy resources and production, as well as industrial development in general. This report gives an overview of the trip, summarizes information and presents pictures and images. I want to thank Vattenfall as organization, as well as a large number of individuals at Vattenfall, for giving me the opportunity for participation. Further, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Swedish Hydropower Center, i.e. Svensk Vattenkraft Centrum SVC, Luleå University of Technology, and individuals at Elforsk for providing me the possibility to take part in this excursion. It has been of great value for me as a young person with deep interest in dam design and construction and provided me with invaluable insights. Luleå, May 2007 Isabel Jantzer Agenda During three days we had the possibility to travel over the country: After the first day in Reykjavik, we flew to Egilstadir in the north eastern part of the country, from where we drove to the Kárahnjúkar dam site and visited the Alcoa aluminium smelter at Reydarfjördur Fjardaál afterwards. -

Feminist Food Studies: a Brief History
Feminist Food Studies: A Brief History ARLENE VOSKI AVAKIAN BARBARA HABER The study of food, cooking, and eating, once a subject limited to nutri- tionists and a few anthropologists studying the symbolic importance of foodways among “natives,”1 has expanded to include sociology, history, philosophy, economics, and the interdisciplinary fields of Women’s Studies, American Studies and Cultural Studies.2 Articles on food have recently appeared in a diverse list of scholarly periodicals and antholo- gies, while new books on the topic continue to be published in ever greater numbers by both university and trade presses. In the last decade an avalanche of books on food has appeared, and conferences on food are no longer the sole concern of food professionals. In addition to the annual conference of the Association for the Study of Food and Society (ASFS) other organizations have sponsored conferences addressing food such as The New School for Social Research’s 1998 conference “Food: Nature and Culture,” and its published proceedings,3 and the 77th Annual Asians in America Conference 2001, “Palates of Pleasure: The Philosophy and Politics of Southeast Asian Food,” complete with Southeast Asian meals catered by restaurants or prepared by guest chefs. ASFS also publishes a journal and has a listserve with lively dis- cussions and debates on everything from the origins of barbecue to sources for research on a variety of topics.4 In addition to the journal Food and Foodways, published since 1985, Gastronomica, a journal de- voted to food and culture, published its first issue in 2000. Common among these works is the notion that studying the most banal of human activities can yield crucial information and insights about both daily life and world view, from what is in the pot to the significance of the fire that heats it. -
