[Protein mixture: importance of its presentation forms (author's transl)].

Acceptability and tolerance of a mixture containing corn (60%), soybean (30%), and wheat (10%) were tested. The mixture was used in the recuperation of pre-school children suffering from 2nd. and 3rd. degree malnutrition. To enable a higher consumption the mixture was used in forty-four different forms. The mean daily intake of the mixture was 121.35g during the four months of the experiment corresponding to about two-thirds of the protein intake of every child. Tolerance was found to be high. Acceptance of the mixture was high (92.2%) indicating that the form in which a product to be tested is presented is a matter of great concern.

[The veterinarian in the agricultural and food-supplying industries (author's transl)].

The major importance of the livestock industry in the Netherlands is apparent from the following facts. Over 250,000 jobs, roughly 9,600 million guilders' worth of exports in 1977 and roughly 11,000 million guilders' worth of annual sales to home consumers. A healthy livestock population is essential. Approximately 2,000 veterinarians have considerably assisted in achieving these aims. This made possible economics of scale and strengthening the international competitive position. Curing animals has been robbed of much of its importance, whereas prevention of diseases has become essential. To maintain the quality of products, improvement of legislation concerning the supply of drugs, antibiotics, etc., is imperative. This includes a well-defined Veterinary Surgeons Act. The major importance of disease prevention requires more extensive knowledge of the veterinarian. Specialization has also become increasingly necessary. Especially in employment, the future offers many possibilities for veterinarians, national as well as international. In particular fields such as the Veterinary Service and the Meat Inspection Service, the monopolistic position of the veterinarian may be impaired. In the light of these facts, it should be considered whether adjustment and widening of the training in Utrecht is not desirable.

Nitrite, nitrosamines, and cancer.

Carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds are formed from the reaction of naturally-occurring amines and nitrites that may be added to foods or produced by bacterial reduction of nitrate. N-Nitroso compounds can be produced during processing, storage and preparation of foods and in the mammalian stomach. Factors that influence the rates of nitrosation reactions include pH, temperature, catalysts, and inhibitors. Predictions of the extent of nitrosation are complicated by these factors and ultimately the amounts and types of N-nitroso compounds present must be determined by direct analysis. Methods for detection and estimation of volatile nitrosamines are available and low levels (parts per billion) have been found in some cured meat and fish products. General methods for detection of all N-nitroso compounds are not available yet, but are under development. Evaluation of the risk to human populations from these compounds is difficult in the absence of more comprehensive data on their environmental distribution.

Oral fluid therapy: sodium and potassium content and osmolality of some commercial "clear" soups, juices and beverages.

Analysis of nearly 90 commercial "clear" fluids, including soups, juices, fruit-flavoured drinks and ices, carbonated beverages and gelatins, showed a range of 0.1 to 251 mmol of sodium and 0.0 to 65 mmol of potassium per litre; the osmolality ranged from 246 to more than 2000 mOsm/kg of water. Knowledge of these values is useful in the home or hospital management of patients for whom control of fluid and electrolyte intake is indicated. The results of the analyses are presented in tabular form for use by physicians and nutritionists when counselling patients to ingest clear-type fluids for various illnesses. Examples are given using these data to show how clear-fluid therapy can be tailored in one such illness--gastroenteritis (infectious diarrhea).

[State of the market for specialized child nutrition products and its prospects].

The relatioship has been analyzed for the first time between research into the development of new specialized foods for infants, its manufacture and trade and demand for it. Moreover, ways of improving specialized nutrition for infant population at the present time and in future (as per prognosis up to 1990) have been outlined.

EEC food policies.

The EEC common agricultural policy (CAP) is examined as a food policy, including the adequacy of its response to consumers' needs; the suggestion is made that, although some successes can be claimed, the overall picture is not satisfactory. Some of the work on food standards within the EEC is recorded, and attention is drawn to the nutritional aspects of CAP and to the implications of EEC actions for world food policy.

Developing new food products.

Stages of developing a new food product - market research, product development, adaptation to factory production, test marketing, national marketing, and advertising--are described. It is shown that no product is successful if not liked by potential purchasers. If the dietitian wishes to market nutrition education successfully this must be done by taking food habits into consideration, influencing them perhaps, but not attempting to reverse trends.

The dietetic and nutritional significance of textured vegetable protein (TVP).

A review of the limited success attained by TVP implies that it may be due partly to the failure of those manufacturing it to attain a sufficiently appealing aesthetic standard and partly to the fact that since its invention it has become apparent that protein deficiency, which would justify its incorporation in the diet, is comparatively rare among the communities where TVP can profitably be marketed.
