The British Isles, a group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, is packed with mouth-watering and sumptuous food varieties. Countries that comprise the British Isles have followed entirely different paths. While Britain's cuisine has been shaped by its history of colonization, the cuisines of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales have predominantly developed as a weak/peasant cuisine that emphasized on survival than celebration. Despite different paths followed by these various countries, many aspects tie the modern day cuisine, and there are several classic dishes that are common to all nations. The Celtic connection has made many ties and links between the ...

Everyone loves the food at the dining table to be appealing to their senses besides their taste buds through attractive colors and flavors. For instance, one cannot imagine a loaf of bread without its trademark golden brown crust. How do foods get their unique color and aroma? A series of reactions known as Maillard reactions produce countless chemical compounds that give foods like bread, chocolates, potato chips and roasted meat their unique colors (Copeland, 2016). These reactions take place at high temperatures of around 130℃ when raw food items are baked, roasted or fried. This explains why boiled, steam-cooked ...

Part 1 Various plants have unique adaptations that help them in surviving in their environments and carrying out various biological activities such as flowering and reproduction. These modifications are either present on the leaves, stems and roots. An example of a plant with such a modification is the potato plant. The potato plant, has an underground stem (stem-tuber) which is a swollen part of the stem that is used to store food, mainly starch, for the purposes of reproduction when the stem is detached or removed from the rest of the plant (Lakhotia et al., 2014). While this is ...

According to Schlosser (2002), the emergence of the fast-food industry in the US and the subsequent emergence of powerful multibillion dollar food flavoring companies have adversely impacted on the American potato farmers in various ways. The contribution of these large firms to the decline of agriculture in rural American and the ensuing conflicts may well be explained using the sociological conflicts and symbolic interaction theories. The multinational corporations or companies running America’s most lucrative fast food industry have infiltrated every aspect of traditional agriculture and introduced a modern concept of agribusiness, thus gaining control over the American agriculture, ...

Introduction

It is customary for the non-native speakers to substitute the correct pronunciation of the words with their versions of vowels and consonants. There are patterns of pronunciation of words in every language and it is believed that the non-native speakers utilize their habitual pronunciation of the new language. These patterns in language may persist at different levels. Some of the non-native speakers tend to learn new language faster, the others retain the traces of native language in their patterns of pronunciation through the years. This may root in different factors, such as the duration of practice in new language, ...

Steven Spielberg’s seminal 1977 science fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind charts the effect of a mysterious and traumatic alien abduction on average American man Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) on both his psyche and his relationship with his family. In Jodi Dean’s essay “Fugitive Alien Truth,” the UFO abductee phenomenon is examined through a sociological and political lens, illuminating many social aspects of the cultural phenomenon of the abductee that are present in Close Encounters. As Roy’s sense of self and identity begins to shift gradually away from his family, and he struggles to ...

In recent years, the phrase “Fast food is the new tobacco” became very common. Although being widespread, this expression raises a lot of questions. For example, why fast food is called as something bad, knowing that it saves people a lot of time? Or, conversely, why the popularity of fast food does not reduce if so many people know about its harm? This paper deals with this issue in order to find out why fast food causes the same strong dependence as the tobacco does. At first glance, there is nothing bad in the fact that food has become “ ...

The term “BMI” is defined as Body Mass Index and has been widely used in a dietary industry in order to identify body fatness, weight category and possible health problems (Cdc.gov, n.d.). It is a commonly accepted particular formula, which can be calculated as following: BMI = weight (kg)/height2 (m2) (Calculator.net, n.d.). Generally, it helps to identify the body type of an individual and suggest diet and training when needed. Therefore, in order to calculate BMI it is necessary to know at least weight and height of a person. Clearly, a normal BMI is different for those under age ...

Introduction

The cell membrane encloses the cell contents and regulates what gets in and out of the cell. This property of a cell is referred to as selective permeability and helps in maintaining life processes (Beckett 22). The property enables physiological process such as diffusion and osmosis to proceed. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration (Roberts and Mitchelmore 38). In a cell membrane, the molecules will diffuse from the side where the molecules are more to a region where they are less. Because of selective permeability, only molecules ...

Abstract

Having faced serious hardships in United States since they first came to this land searching for a better life, Irish immigrants resisted famine, discrimination, oppression and unfair treatment and in the end achieved the respect that they deserve. Irish were caricaturized, discriminated and stereotyped as savage, uncivilized, lazy, drunken, with criminal instincts individuals. They were brutally oppressed by the colonizers of United States, who were not allowing them to have other than blue collar jobs, considering them second hand citizens. Labor was hard and the payment was very low. All these hardships started to diminish when the Irish people entered ...

- The company incursion and entry into the Chinese market was an ethnocentric move and measure. It was because at this point, the Chinese state and society by extension had banned potato imports. And thus it was virtually impossible for a business to introduce the potato chips at that point in time. The above stems from the fact that culture from the definition implies that way in which people live their lives such as what is permissible to eat or not. Thus, this was an ethnocentric move because it factored in the demands and the restrictions that the government had ...

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Vincent van Gogh was arguably one of the most influential artists in the human history. Through his use of color and imagery, he managed to communicate many different emotions and messages to each viewer of his paintings. He is most infamously known for the incident in which he chopped off his ear, supposedly mailing it to a woman in a box. For this reason, how he grew up and who he was as a person is particularly interesting to the public, as well as psychoanalysts. Regardless of if he was deeply troubled or not, one thing is clear, his life eventually led ...

Simon Sinek developed the Golden Circle Model after researching the activities and philosophies of some of the most successful companies and influential leaders. Sinek discovered a common thread in the way these companies conceptualized, acted and communicated their ideals and products. He realized that there was a stark difference between influential companies and the not-so-successful ones. According to Sinek, most companies believe that clients buy products and service only because of superior quality, fair prices and exquisite designs. This is erroneous thinking, according to Sinek, because influential companies are driven by a different philosophy – the ‘why’ question. The ‘why’ concept is ...

Sensory Perception

The Nervous system plays an important role in many mammals including man. The nervous system is responsible for the coordination of different stimuli in the body. Environmental changes can be felt in the body due to the nervous system present. The sense of touch, vision, audition and taste can be understood solely due to the nervous system. A minute change or deficiency in these senses could lead to fatality. A failure in perception of any of the senses makes an individual dependent. Sensory perception is essential for all living organisms and forms the basis for homeostasis. A ...

Abstract

Solid waste and wastewater are primary sources of pollution from food processing industries. The wastewaters usually contain high suspended solids, organic starch and sugars that may contain toxic substances to the environment. Solid wastes come from organic materials while the mechanical preparation processes need biological treatment before releases into the environment. When untreated, they find their way into other water plants like lakes and streams. Since they have higher nutrient content, they result of eutrophication of the water systems hence causing algal growth. It, therefore, compromises the stability of the aquatic ecosystems as the water quality is changed. It ...

Introduction

“Into the wild” (1996) by Jon Krakauer and “Lead us into temptation: the triumph of American materialism” (1999) by James B Twitchell are two books with similar themes – the only difference being that one is an antithesis of the other. Before beginning on the journey of the exploring these themes and understanding what each of the author sought to achieve in writing the respective books, let us take a brief look into the story of each of these aforementioned books.

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer

“Into the Wild”, though seemingly a fiction, is essentially a non-fiction book, which was written as an extension of an article Jon ...

- Explanations - Food miles and 100-mile diet A 100-mile diet refers to a diet that consists of foods raised and grown within 100 miles of a dinner table (Tancock). Usually, food travels some 1,500 miles before reaching the dinner table in North America (Tancock). The traveling miles are called “food miles” and affect the environment, quality of food and farming practices. Food miles increase carbon emissions through the numerous planes, boats, and trucks involved in the transport of food materials. In addition, food miles promote unsafe agricultural practices because the consumers are unlikely to visit the farms ...

Why are lipids important?

Lipids are a form of organic molecules, which are categorized together based on their solubility in non-polar solvents. There are four key lipid groups, which include fatty acids, glycerides, nonglyceride lipids and Complex lipids. Lipids are important since they serve different biological functions, which include storage of energy, source of energy, structural components of the cell membrane, adsorption of vitamins, protection, as well as insulation.

Can the body produce essential fatty acids (EFA’s)? If not, how does thebody obtain these needed lipids?

Within any customer base, there are two things that differentiate customers. One is how they contribute to the business profitability and revenue and the costs and expenses that a business incurs while satisfying their respective customers. These differences developed the need of grouping all customers in different segments where their needs are satisfied according to the rules of customer’s profitability analysis. However, customer’s satisfaction varies according to the different segments that all customers fall under (E.porter 23-34.). Customer’s profitability analysis uses a table that helps categories the customers according to their contribution to the business.

The Botany of Desire documentary focused on four different plants: apple, tulip, cannabis, and potato. The journey each of these plants have taken over the past millennia or so largely reflect the globalization of humans that has occurred simultaneously, demonstrating the extremely interdependent relationship between humans and certain plants. Apples, for example, originated in central Asia and were transported via the Silk Road, eventually reaching Europe and then spreading, with European colonization, to the Americas. In the United States, apples accompanied settlers west. Like applies, tulips likely originated in the mountains of central Asia. The first tulips likely ...

INTRODUCTION

There is general discontent and uneven acceptance of genetically modified foods in the world all over. This has led to the development of regulatory frameworks in many countries to control its use or at the least monitor them. The sudden increase in discontent prompting different control and monitoring approaches such as labeling can be attributed to a lot of factors. First, organic farming is on the rise globally, and as a worthy competitor of genetic modified foods, organic farmers are advocating for the labeling of GM foods in order to advance their health and environmental risk concerns. The discontent is so ...

Abstract

Enzymes are biological catalysts and work by speeding up the rate of chemical reactions. The factors that affect enzyme activity include enzyme concentration, temperature, pH, and the substrate concentration. This experiment aimed to determine the effect of lemon juice, which is acidic on the activity of catechol oxidase enzyme. According to the results, high acidity inactivates the catechol oxidase enzyme. The optimum pH level for catechol oxidase enzyme can, therefore, be said to be pH 6.

Introduction

Osmosis refers to the net water movement across a membrane, which is selectively permeable and the movement is driven by a difference in the concentration of the solutes on the opposite sides of the membrane. A selectively permeable membrane allows water to pass through without allowing ions or solute molecules to pass through. Other small molecules that are not charged are also allowed to pass through the membrane. Diffusion, on the other hand, refers to the movement of molecules in a random motion as a result of the kinetic energy and causes the molecules to have a net movement from areas where the particles ...

Introduction

The biuret test is a test that is used to test for proteins. More specifically, it tests for presence of peptide bond in a sample. According to Janiro, Sy, Yap, Llanos-Lazaro and Robles (78), the biuret test is one of the earliest methods that have been developed for determining protein content. The biuret reagent reacts with amino acids bonded but does not react with molecules like starches, sugars, vitamins and fats. A sample containing peptide bonds will react with the biuret reagent to form a purple colored complex. The amount of color produced is directly proportional to the amount of protein present ( ...

Theories of International Trade

Comparative advantage is a situation where a firm, country or an individual is able to produce some goods or commodities at a cheaper cost compared to other firms, countries or individuals. The theory of comparative advantage was put across by a UK Economist David Ricardo (1772-1822) and it advocates that a country should only specialize in producing only those goods she can produce cheaper than other countries. It results from the different endowments or factors of production like land, labour, capital, and entrepreneurship skills (Chang, 2002). The theory of absolute advantage was developed by a Scottish economist Adam Smith and it occurs in the ...

Introduction

An enzyme is a protein with catalytic properties in biological systems. During an enzymatic reaction, a substance, called the substrate, binds to the active site of the enzyme and is then turned into one or more substance(s), called the product(s). The enzyme itself is not consumed or altered during the reaction. The enzyme activity depends on factors, including pH, temperature, buffer composition, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the presence of inhibitors. Enzymes have an optimal pH at which their activity is maximal. pH determines the ionization states of certain amino acids at the active site that are critical ...

Consumer Behavior:

Brand positioning is a terms used to refer to reasons by ‘target consumers’ to purchase particular brands over others. It ensures that various brand activities have common aims and that they are delivered, directed and guided by the brand’s benefits and reasons to buy (Cayla & Arnould, 2008). In ‘Salty Snacks’, brand positioning can be used as a focus on all contact points with a given consumer. The successful approaches can be summarized in four dimensions. Identify and communicate the look of the labels to satisfy the needs of the consumer. The second is to personify the characters to symbols that the ...
