[Drug residues in food of animal origin].

This paper reviews literature data on the stability of drug residues in food of animal origin. It was investigated the most important antibacterial, antihelminthic and sedative drugs and growth promoters used in food/producing animal treatments. The effects of storage (at -20 degrees C, 4 degrees C and temperature room) and a range of cooking processes (boiling, frying, roasting, grilling, microwaving) on residues was studied. The results are summarized in tables and showed that degradation and biological activity were varied between 0 and 100%.

149 schoolchildren, 14-15 years old, from 4 rural communities pending on 4 different Moldova counties have been investigated using the one day questionnaire technique.

[Current issues regarding organic food].

Destruction and pollution of soil and ground water resources is probably the most important ecological problem facing the next generation. Checkable standards which certify healthy food products are required by the regulation on organic farming of the EU and should also be applied for conventional food production. Ecological food contains at least 95% of ingredients from an organic farming environment, without interference from pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or other chemicals and it is totally different from dietary, functional, enriched, fortified, probiotic food. Ecological food is tastier and contains more essential amino-acids, vitamin C, and micro-nutriments than usual food. Two major effects generated by choosing ecological food are the environmental protection and human' health improvement. Buying an ecological product represents the effect of a certain attitude. Children's nutrition starts with the most genuine ecological product: breast milk. Every parent should give to his child healthy and tasty food, for proper development. Decreasing artificial chemicals in the diet and the environment represents the first step to a healthier life.
