Abstract: A technical report discusses the perceived direct/indirect effects that biotechnology will have on human nutrition from its applications in agriculture and in the food fermentation and processing industries. Specific attention is focused on: principles and applications of genetic engineering and plant biotechnology (crop improvements); the use of plant tissue culture for producing food ingredients ("natural" flavors); food processing applications (genetic modification of microorganisms used in food processing); reduction of food processing wastes; and food safety considerations. The use of biosensors for assuring food quality, and the US federal regulation and public perception of biotechnology also are discussed.(wz)

Abstract: The end goal of technology, when applied to agriculture, is to improve the efficiency of food production or to enhance the quality of our food. That is the goal of bovine somatotropin (BST), one of the first major products of biotechnology being developed for the food industry. This article will discuss (1) how BST came into being and the impact it will have on the food industry; (2) whether it is safe; (3) reasons some people oppose it; (4) regulatory and consumer perception implications; and (5) public benefits.

Abstract: The issue of the genetic manipulation of plants, animals and microbes is addressed within the context of food production. Genetic manipulation is defined within the wider area of biotechnology and some of the main benefits of its use are summarized; safety and risk are examined and some of the socioeconomic problems it can create are discussed. It is concluded that the technique can offer great potential benefits in terms of increased quantity and improved quality of food, but it raises social/ethical concerns which can be summed up by asking: Is it safe? Is it fair? Is it natural?

Abstract: A detailed overview discusses federal regulation of the commercialization of plant and animal biotechnology. Emphasis is placed on biotechnological methods such as recombinant DNA/RNA and hybridoma techniques that may require closer federal supervision to allay public concern about possible effects on health, safety, and the environment. Particular attention is given to NIH guidelines and requirement for prior reviews of federally-funded research and field tests involving non-pesticidal, recombinant plants. Details of USDA and other federal regulations that apply to plants, animals and plant and animal products are reviewed. Policy developments, pending litigation, and the importance of continued federal involvement, in biotechnology are discussed. (wz)

Abstract: A feature article sumarizes and discusses the background, goals, potential, and philosophical concerns of genetic engineering in the development of new, improved foods. By 1990, it is estimated that sales of genetically engineered agricultural products may reach 2-4 billion dollars. Some observers, however, fear that acceleration of genetic alterations in crops and animals ultimately may worsen human and environmental health. In addition, geneticlly altered herbicide-resistant seeds may drive traditional varieties from the market. The controversy has become so heated that a Presidential commission has been established to assess the social and ethical issues of genetic engineering. Arguments on both sides of the genetic engineering question are discussed. (wz)

Abstract: Federal oversight of agricultural biotechnology field testing is based on public concerns that unknown consequences could arise from such tests, and that firms may not adequately consider the public consequences of their research and development activities. In this paper, four general types of ex ante and ex post approaches to manage public risks from field testing are explored. The analysis shows that the approaches are least effective at facilitating the research process yet controlling public risks when the research firm is small in size and potential damages exceed the value of the firm.

Abstract: Scientists are studying genetic influences on health and disease. They hope to eventually use genetic science to predict and therefore prevent chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, hypertension, alcoholism and obesity. The role of genetic influences of nutrient thresholds is discussed. Nutrient thresholds are defined as the minimal requirements and maximal tolerances of essential nutrients.
