Nordic recommendations on nutrition labelling Nordic work on general labelling of pre-packed foods in 2002 led to a Nordic Policy towards the labelling of Foods, published in the report TemaNord 2002:589. Since then a Nordic project has been working on nutrition labelling of foods. The project group has concluded that as there is no perfect model for nutritional information, a nutrition label is always a compromise between many demands. A nutrition label is a tool for delivering information, to be supported by educational and other efforts. Fortification of food products was not included in this work. The conclusions regarding nutrition labelling are the following recommendations: I. Nutriti...
This updated monograph deals with methanogenic endosymbionts of anaerobic protists, in particular ciliates and termite flagellates, and with methanogens in the gastrointestinal tracts of vertebrates and arthropods. Further chapters discuss the genomic consequences of living together in symbiotic associations, the role of methanogens in syntrophic degradation, and the function and evolution of hydrogenosomes, hydrogen-producing organelles of certain anaerobic protists. Methanogens are prokaryotic microorganisms that produce methane as an end-product of a complex biochemical pathway. They are strictly anaerobic archaea and occupy a wide variety of anoxic environments. Methanogens also thrive in the cytoplasm of anaerobic unicellular eukaryotes and in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and humans. The symbiotic methanogens in the gastrointestinal tracts of ruminants and other “methanogenic” mammals contribute significantly to the global methane budget; especially the rumen hosts an impressive diversity of methanogens. This makes this updated volume an interesting read for scientists and students in Microbiology and Physiology.
