Jul 18, 2023 · Scientists who develop GMOs conduct thorough testing to ensure that allergens are not transferred from one food to another. Extensive research indicates that GMO foods are no more likely to provoke allergies compared to non-GMOs. For instance, a 2020 Foods study examined the allergenicity of genetically modified soybeans. Researchers concluded ...
While not currently available for purchase, Simplot GMO potatoes have also received approval for other GM potato varieties. In addition to reducing browning and acrylamide, these potatoes are resistant to late blight, the disease responsible for the Irish potato famine. They also have a slower conversion of starch to sugars, enabling cold ...
Jan 6, 2022 · Introduction. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most important food for human consumption behind wheat and rice, and among the top horticultural crops. 1 Two thirds of the annual yield is marketed fresh, while the remainder is processed for snack and other industrial food products, including animal feed, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, wood, and textile commodities. 2,3 In 2019, 17.5 ...
Feb 1, 2022 · A meticulous scientist who woke up the world to the dangers of GM foods The eminent scientist Dr. Arpad Pusztai passed away last December. As the lead author of the landmark 1999 study that found that genetically modified insecticidal potatoes had toxic effects on rats, Arpad woke up the world to the fact that some GM crops […]
Dec 19, 2012 · Quantification of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in foods. Testing on GMOs in food and feed is routinely done using molecular techniques like DNA microarrays or qPCR. These tests are based on screening genetic elements like p35S, tNos, pat, or bar or event specific markers for the official GMOs like Mon810, Bt11, or GT73.
Food scientists employ their knowledge of chemistry, microbiology, and engineering to investigate the properties of ingredients, assess the impact of processing methods, and enhance the overall quality of food products. Their role involves conducting experiments, analyzing data, and interpreting results to understand the chemical, physical, and ...
