Of all the many accomplishments of food chemists in recent decades, perhaps the most remarkable is the development of synthetic foods. Af alle de mange resultater af fødevarer apoteker i de seneste årtier, den mest bemærkelsesværdige er måske udviklingen af syntetiske fødevarer. The term synthetic food refers to a food not found in nature. Udtrykket syntetiske fødevarer refererer til en fødevare ikke findes i naturen. Non-dairy creamer, mentioned in chapter 1, is often cited as a classic example of a synthetic food. Ikke-mejeri flødekande, nævnt i kapitel 1, er ofte nævnt som et klassisk eksempel på en syntetisk mad. It does not exist anywhere in the natural world and was invented by food chemists to replace a natural product, natural cream. Det findes ikke nogen steder i den naturlige verden og blev opfundet af fødevarer kemikere til at erstatte et naturligt produkt, naturlige creme. Any... Enhver ... Carbonated soft drinks made primarily of water containing dissolved carbon dioxide, artificial coloring, artificial flavoring, and other ingredients go by many different names in different parts of the country: pop, soda, soda pop, and tonic. Kulsyreholdige læskedrikke lavet primært af vand, der indeholder opløst kuldioxid, kunstige farvestoffer, kunstige smagsstoffer, og andre ingredienser gå af mange forskellige navne i forskellige dele af landet: pop, sodavand, sodavand og tonic. These drinks are also widely known as soft drinks, although that term is generally used for noncarbonated drinks also. Disse drikkevarer er også kendt som sodavand, selv om dette begreb almindeligvis anvendes til ikke-kulsyreholdige drikkevarer også. Soda pop may well be one of the world's first totally artificial... Soda pop kan meget vel være en af verdens første helt kunstige ... In recent years, some people have criticized soda pop on nutritional grounds. I de senere år, har nogle mennesker kritiseret sodavand om ernæringsmæssige grunde. They argue that it scarcely deserves to be called a food since it typically contains few, if any, nutrients. De hævder, at det næppe fortjener at blive kaldt en fødevare, da det typisk indeholder få, om nogen, næringsstoffer. As noted earlier, soda pop consists of water, dissolved carbon dioxide, artificial flavoring, artificial coloring, and other ingredients. Som tidligere bemærket, sodavand består af vand, opløst carbondioxid, kunstige smagsstoffer, kunstige farvestoffer og andre ingredienser. Chief among these other ingredients is sugar or sugar substitutes. Chief blandt disse øvrige indholdsstoffer er sukker eller sukker erstatninger. Perhaps ironically, it is sugar and... Måske ironisk nok, det er sukker og ... Sweeteners can be classified into two general groups: caloric (or nutritive) and noncaloric (or non-nutritive) products. Sødemidler kan klassificeres i to generelle grupper: kalorieindhold (eller ernæringsmæssige) og kaloriefrie (eller ikke-nærende) produkter. Caloric sweeteners are natural products, such as sucrose, fructose, glu- ~ 75 1Л ТЭ С 3 о о.

Some people regard artificial sweeteners as the way to avoid the health problems associated with caloric sweeteners such as sugar and HFCS. Nogle mennesker betragter kunstige sødestoffer som den måde at undgå de sundhedsmæssige problemer forbundet med kaloriefattige sødestoffer såsom sukker og HFC. These synthetic foods add no calories or virtually no calories to a person's diet. Disse syntetiske fødevarer tilføjer ingen kalorier eller næsten ingen kalorier til en persons kost. As of late 2004, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved five artificial sweeteners for use in the United States. Som i slutningen af 2004, havde den amerikanske Food and Drug Administration (FDA) har godkendt fem kunstige sødestoffer til brug i USA. They are saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, ace-sulfame potassium,... De er saccharin, aspartam, sucralose, ace-sulfame kalium, ... ra Remsen's name is familiar to any historian of American science today. ra Remsen navn er velkendt for enhver historiker af amerikansk videnskab i dag. He is best remembered for two accomplishments: the first was the discovery in 1879 of o-benzoyl sulfimide, the compound now known as saccharin, and his contributions to the development of professional education in science in the United States. Han er bedst husket for to resultater: Den første var opdagelsen i 1879 af o-benzoyl sulfimide forbindelsen nu er kendt som saccharin, og hans bidrag til udviklingen af sundhedsfaglig uddannelse på videnskab i USA. Ira Remsen was born in New York City on February 10, 1846, of Dutch and Huguenot ancestry. Ira Remsen blev født i New York City den 10. februar 1846, af hollandsk og Huguenot herkomst. At his parents'... På hans forældre '... Serendipity, the act of making a useful discovery of something for which one is not actually searching, seems to be an inherent part of the discovery of nearly all artificial sweeteners. Serendipity, den handling at gøre en nyttig opdagelse af noget, som man faktisk ikke søger, synes at være en naturlig del af opdagelsen af næsten alle kunstige sødestoffer. Like Remsen and Fahlberg's discovery of saccharin, the discovery of aspartame was accidental. Ligesom Remsen og Fahlberg opdagelse af saccharin, var opdagelsen af aspartam utilsigtet. James Schlatter, a chemist at the GD Searle pharmaceutical company, was involved in research on new drugs that might be used to treat ulcers.... James Schlatter, en kemiker ved GD Searle medicinalvirksomhed, blev involveret i forskning i nye lægemidler, der kan anvendes til behandling af mavesår .... A third artificial sweetener, acesulfame was discovered accidentally in a manner similar to that as saccharin and aspartame: In 1967 Karl Claus, an employee of the large manufacturing company Hoechst AG, accidentally dipped his fingers into a chemical with which he was working in the laboratory. En tredje kunstigt sødestof, blev acesulfam opdaget ved et uheld på en måde svarende til den, som sakkarin og aspartam: I 1967 Karl Claus, en medarbejder i den store produktionsvirksomhed Hoechst AG, uheld dyppet fingrene i en kemisk med, som han arbejdede i laboratoriet . When he later licked his finger to pick up a piece of paper, he noted the very sweet taste of the chemical. Da han senere slikkede sin finger for at hente et stykke papir, han bemærkede den meget søde smag af kemikaliet. This compound was later... Denne forbindelse blev senere ... As already noted, the FDA has approved five non-nutritive sweeteners just discussed: saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame-K, sucralose, and neotame. Som allerede bemærket, er FDA godkendt fem ikke-nærende sødemidler netop drøftet: saccharin, aspartam, acesulfam-K, sucralose, og neotam. Others, however, have been developed and are under consideration by the FDA, the two most important of which are cy-clamates and alitame. Andre, derimod, er blevet udviklet og er under overvejelse af FDA, de to vigtigste af dem er CY-clamates og alitam. The discovery of the cyclamates yields yet another fantastic story in the history of artificial sweeteners. Opdagelsen af de cyklamater giver endnu en fantastisk historie i historien for kunstige sødestoffer. In 1937 Michael Sveda, then a... I 1937 Michael Sveda, så en ... No single corporation has ever done greater damage to the planet than Monsanto.

Life is not always easy for the world's chemical manufacturers these days. Livet er ikke altid let for verdens kemiske producenter i disse dage. Companies such as Monsanto, DuPont, Merck, Aventis, Merck, and Union Carbide are being blamed for a host of environmental problems and health problems among humans and other animals.

The problems of sugar consumption notwithstanding, many nutrition experts believe that the most important health problems in the United States today stem from Americans' high intake of fats. Problemerne med sukker forbrug trods, mange ernæringseksperter mener, at de vigtigste sundhedsproblemer i USA i dag, stammer fra amerikanernes højt indtag af fedt. Many Americans consume 40 percent or more of their daily dietary calories in the form of fats. Mange amerikanere forbruge 40 procent eller mere af deres daglige kost kalorier i form af fedt. The FDA, the American Heart Association, and other health agencies, however, recommend diets containing no more than about 30 percent of...

Men hvem vil se på watchers? —Juvenal (ca. 70-138 ce) In a democratic society like that of the United States, one function of the government is to protect its citizens from possible risks posed by large corporations. -Juvenal (ca. 70-138 ce) I et demokratisk samfund som, at De Forenede Stater, en funktion af regeringen er at beskytte sine borgere mod mulige risici forbundet med store virksomheder. For example, the Food and Drug Administration is charged with the responsibility of watching over the foods, drugs, cosmetics, and other chemicals that are made available to Americans in the marketplace....
