Suppression of root-knot nematode through innovative mustard biofumigation
(Department of Organic Food Quality and Food Culture at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2015-12-16)
The nematicidal activity of mustard plant against hatching, migration and mortality of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica was investigated. In vitro test confirmed that mixing the sandy clay soil mixture with mustard as 4% as a biofumigant significantly reduce the percentage of egg hatching at all different incubation periods 24, 48, 72, 96 and 168 h, compared to control treatment (un-amended mixture soil and eggs in free water). Results indicate that the percentage of egg hatching reduction was 88.5, 90, ...

The circular economy and the water-food nexus
(Department of Organic Food Quality and Food Culture at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2015-12-16)
The global economy is based on a take-make-consume and dispose model where natural resources are turned into products and the waste disposed of instead of being reused as a resource. In the Asia-Pacific region climate change along with rapid population and economic growth is resulting in increased demand for water and food, potentially leading to economic and political instability. Europe has developed policy and technological innovations that can facilitate the transition towards a circular economy where waste becomes ...

HACCP in Germany and Lebanon
(2018-10-22)
Food borne outbreaks have been on the rise in Lebanon and in Germany in recent years. Food safety systems have been developed over a period of years starting from HACCP which was established in the 1950’s unto the European directive 93/43/EEC established in 1993, to directive (EC) No 178/2002 until today in order to prevent and control hazards in the different food safety fields. Such systems which started with HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control point) and was later integrated into private systems such as ...

Nutrition in Kindergartens of Kosovo
(2014-03-17)
Einer physiologisch angemessenen Ernährung in der Kindheit wird eine wichtige Rolle in der physischen, mentalen und emotionalen Entwicklung vom Kindes- bis zum späteren Erwachsenenalter zugeschrieben. Obwohl es bisher nur wenige Daten zum Gesundheits- und Ernährungsstatus im Kosovo gibt, zeigen diese Studien aus der Zeit vor und nach dem Kosovokrieg, dass Unterernährung und der Mangel einiger wichtiger Mikronährstoffe bei Kindern im Vorschulalter vorherrschen. Deshalb ist es erforderlich, die Daten von Kindern im ...

A Survey of the Relationship between Climatic Heat Stress Indices and Fundamental Milk Components Considering Uncertainty
(2015-11-13)
The main purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between four bioclimatic indices for cattle (environmental stress, heat load, modified heat load, and respiratory rate predictor indices) and three main milk components (fat, protein, and milk yield) considering uncertainty. The climate parameters used to calculate the climate indices were taken from the NASA-Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications (NASA-MERRA) reanalysis from 2002 to 2010. Cow milk data were considered for the same ...

Untersuchungen zu Qualität und Verträglichkeit ökologischer Milch
(2016-09-15)
In der Literatur findet sich eine kontroverse Debatte um eine Differenzierbarkeit ökologischer und konventioneller Produktqualität von Lebensmitteln. Zugleich greifen zahlreiche subjektiv überzeugte Verbraucher zunehmend zu ökologischen Lebensmitteln. Als eines der Kaufmotive wird in vielen Umfragen die Annahme eines höheren Gesundheitswertes und allgemein einer höheren Qualität ökologischer Produkte genannt. Bisher besteht hinsichtlich der Definitionen, Methoden sowie der Einordnung ökologischer Produktqualität keine ...
