BDOPR 10/7/99 4:25 PM Page vi Preface The study of food and nutrition covers a wide range of disciplines, from agriculture and horticulture, through the chemistry, physics and technology of food processing and manufacture (including domestic food preparation), the physiology and biochemistry of nutrition and metabolism, molecular biology, genetics and bio- technology, via social sciences and the law, anthropology and epi- demiology to clinical medicine, disease prevention and health promotion. This means that anyone interested in food and nutri- tion will be reading articles written from a variety of disciplines and hearing lectures by specialists in a variety of fields.We will all come across unfamiliar terms, or terms that are familiar, but used in a new context, as the jargon of a different discipline. At the same time, new terms are introduced as our knowledge increases, and as new techniques are introduced, old terms become obsolete, dropping out of current textbooks, so that the reader of earlier literature may be at a loss. All of this provides the raison d’être of this Dictionary, the first edition of which was published 40 years ago, with definitions of 2000 terms. Over the years it has grown so that in this edition it includes more than 5000 entries. At the front of the first and following editions, there was the fol- lowing note: Should this book become sufficiently familiar through usage to earn the title ‘Bender’s Dictionary’, it would probably be more correct to call it ‘Benders’ Dictionary’, in view of the valuable assistance of D., D.A. and B.G., guided, if not driven, by A.E. The publisher suggested that the seventh edition should indeed be called ‘Bender’s Dictionary of Nutrition and Food Technology’. I was proud that my father invited me to join him as a full co- author, so that it could be called Benders’ Dictionary. Sadly he died in February 1999, before the typescript was completed. I hope that I have done justice to his memory and to the book that was the first of many that he wrote. David A Bender April 1999 ©1999 Woodhead Publishing Ltd. BDOPR 10/7/99 4:25 PM Page vii A note on food composition This book contains nutrient composition data for 287 foods. This is Crown copyright material from The Composition of Foods, Fifth Edition and its supplements which has been reproduced with the permission of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office. In addition to the nutrient content per 100g, we have calculated nutrient yields per serving, and shown the information as a note that a specified serving is a source, good source or rich source of various nutrients. A rich source means that the serving provides more than 30%, a good source 20–30%, and a source 10–20% of the recommended daily amount of that nutrient (based on the EU nutrition labelling figures shown in Table 2). Any specified food will differ in composition from one variety to another, and from sample to sample of the same variety, depend- ing on the conditions under which the animal was raised or the plant grown, so that the values quoted here should not be consid- ered to be accurate to better than about ±10%, at best; the varia- tion in micronutrient content may be even greater. ©1999 Woodhead Publishing Ltd.

This event sparked the begin- ning of the Irish “Troubles”—a civil conflict between Protestants loyal to British reign and nationalist Catholics that would span nearly thirty years. Seamus Heaney, an Irish poet living through the turbulent period, saw many parallels between the disturbing violence of the “Troubles” and the tribal violence of the Iron Age, exploring many of these tensions in his poetry. Poems such as “Tollund Man” and “Punishment” still seem to catch attention for their graphic—verging on obsessive—rendering of tribal vio- lence and exploration of age-old, controversial questions concerning civility and barbarism. Poetry became Heaney’s literary outlet for frustration as he struggled to come to terms with the plight of his nation.

  • Pacific Cod (Gadus Macrocephalus) in Puget Sound and Adjacent Waters: Biology and Stock Assessment
    State of Washington Department of Fisheries PACIFIC COD (GADUS MACROCEPHALUS) IN PUGET SOUND AND ADJACENT WATERS: BIOLOGY AND STOCK ASSESSMENT BY WAYNE A. PALSSON FISH BIOLOGIST DECEMBER 1990 Technical Report Number: 112 State of Washington DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES TECHNICAL REPORT NO. 112 Pacific Cod (Gadus macrocephalus) in Puget Sound and Adjacent Waters: Biology and Stock Assessment by Wayne A. Palsson Fish Biologist Booth Gardner Governor December 1990 ABSTRACT A stock assessment of Pacific cod was undertaken for Puget Sound. The biology of Pacific cod was reviewed to provide insights into stock structure and population dynamics. Tagging data for Puget Sound revealed that three stocks exist: a stock in the Gulf-Bellingham and San Juan Island Regions, a stock in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Port Townsend Bay, and a stock south of Admiralty Inlet. Catch data showed that periods of high catches alternate with periods of low catches. Six of these cycles were observed since 1942 with a peak catch of 3.5 million pounds in 1980. Catches in recent years have been below the last ten-year average of 2.5 million pounds per year. Catch patterns differed among regions. The Gulf-Bellingham Management Region typically produced over half of the catch of Pacific cod during a year. Catch rates from trawl and recreational fisheries were used as an index of abundance to assess stock condition. Catch rates in most regions and fisheries were lower in the 1980s than in the 1970s, but catch rates have been stable until 1990 in the Gulf­ Bellingham Region. Catch rates for fisheries in the eastern portion of the western stock have declined, especially for the Port Townsend area.

Plus recipes for rose-hip soup, a salad with fresh raspberries, and sumac lemonade. hile you’re enjoying the beach and the sun, be sure to include nature’s summer bounty in your W day. It’s easy to locate and harvest many useful wild plants on the Vineyard, and even easier to make delicious food and drinks with them. Here are the descriptions you need to find tasty flowers and nutritious greens to go with every meal of the day. Beach peas In the spring, the beach pea plant (Lathyrus maritimus) has beautiful purple or fuchsia flowers amid the pale green leaves. If you look at the same plants again in July and August, you’ll often see hanging pods (similar to common garden pea pods) with three to eight small peas inside. Since the peas are under- sized, it might take too much time to collect for a meal, but they taste like regular peas and can be eaten and cooked in the same way. Beach pea tendrils, located at the tip of the plant, can be snipped and lightly steamed. Look for the beach peas on both the south- and north-shore beaches, in the dunes and around Writer Holly Bellebuono and her daughter, Madia, collect wild roses that were likely once cultivated.

This study provides a comprehensive characterization of the chemical composition of 15 Arctic red algal species from the perspective of their practical relevance in medicine and the food industry. We show that several virtually unstudied species may be regarded as promis- ing sources of different valuable metabolites and minerals. Thus, several filamentous ceramialean algae (Ceramium virgatum, Polysiphonia stricta, Savoiea arctica) had total protein content of 20–32% of dry weight, which is comparable to or higher than that of already commercially exploited species Citation: Yanshin, N.; Kushnareva, (Palmaria palmata, Porphyra sp.). Moreover, ceramialean algae contained high amounts of pigments, A.; Lemesheva, V.; Birkemeyer, C.; macronutrients, and ascorbic acid.

The analysis of processing standards alongside samples for quality assurance in radiocarbon (14C) analyses is critical. Ideally, these standards should be similar both in nature and age to unknown samples. A new compound-specific approach was developed at the University of Bristol for dating pottery vessels using palmitic and stearic fatty acids extracted from within the clay matrix and isolated by preparative capillary gas chromatography. Obtaining suitable potsherds for use as processing standards in such analyses is not feasible, so we suggest that bog butter represents an ideal material for such purposes. We sampled ca.
