The importance of uncompromising standards of food safety is clear . so as to preserve and protect public health, agricultural producers and food industries must suits a selection of international, national, and market-specific regulations. Please contact Bruker’s team of experts to find out about the CTX, a perfect option for performing various essential sorts of food, plant and soil analyses performed by food manufacturers, farmers, compliance agents, and specialist consultants.
Typical uses of the CTX within the sphere of food control
and food safety-risk analysis include:
Quality Analysis at Critical Control (QACC) of raw materials
and of finished and “in process” products also as during process
Hazardous Analysis at Critical Control (HACC), screening for
adulterants and metallic contaminants
Food content analysis for fortificants like iron (Fe) and
calcium (Ca) in milk liquid and powder.
In the area of plant and soil health assessment, the CTX can
help:
Monitor both elemental nutrients and contaminants like heavymetals to identify and ensure healthy, sustainable fields, or verify the
effectiveness of remediation efforts
Analyze the basic nutrient and heavy metal and uptake by
crops and plants
Compare and contrast the standard and yield of varied seed
brands and fertilizer mixes
Analyze soil geochemistry; determine elemental properties of
area soil, irrigation sources, and fertilizers to optimize crop quality and
yield for smart farming
Growing up we had dairy dinners– fish, or pasta– and were given milk to drink. On meat dinners- we had juice or water. Never soda. One night- for dairy dinner– my mother served waffles and ice cream with hot fudge and wet nuts. and that became a regular treat.
ReplyDeleteSo now that I have children- when we were at a NJ shore vacation, we always went at least once a summer for Dairy Dinner– and I often served it at home. Now that my kids are in their twenties- they think they are too grown up for dairy dinner– So once a summer , at least, my 60 something girlfriend and I go out for Dairy Dinner– coffee ice cream, fresh waffles, hot fudge, and wet dinner. My daughter knows that my new granddaughter will behaving dairy dinner
My niece- at age 8- was invited to stay for dinner at a friend’s house for dairy dinner She started to sob, when dinner of flounder was served. Not the dairy dinner she expected that her mom learned to serve. We still joke about her failed Dairy Dinner
The most beloved food memory that sticks in my mind is my mom’s Christmas Eve dinners. We would have only small finger food/appetizers like shrimp cocktail, crudités, my grandma’s buttermilk fried chicken wings (all the more special b/c my mom is uber-health concious and we NEVER got fried food), cheese and crackers, etc. My mom, sister, and grandparents would sit in the living room around a fire and eat/drink all night then play charades.
ReplyDeleteNow that my grandparents are gone and my sister and I live on opposite sides of the country, it’s hard to maintain this tradition but we still manage to once every few years or so. It’s a tradition I plan on passing down to my future children one day :)
These are all such great stories! My siblings and I grew up in a quasi-kosher home, but when we visited our maternal grandmother all bets were off. In addition to eating BACON and shrimp at her house, she also bought sugary cereals for us (Applejacks!) that we were never allowed at home. I was not particularly close to my grandmother, but just by having those special foods on hand for us, I now have fond memories of visiting her.
ReplyDeleteMy mom really made an effort in the kitchen for us and her thoughtfulness in that regard will always stay with me. We lived in a very small, Southern town without a lot of ethnic food options available (e.g. we grew up eating ketchup on our tacos, I think because salsa was not yet available in our local grocery!). About every six weeks, my mom would make a grand Chinese food feast (stirfry, szechaun chicken salad, egg drop soup) from scratch. She even served it in special dishes that she bought at an import store in the big city and taught us all to use chopsticks!
