Summary

The increasing world population, competition for arable land and rich fishing grounds, and environmental concerns mandate that we exploit in a sustainable way the earth’s available plant and animal resources for human consumption. To that end, food chemists, technologists, and nutritionists engage in a vast number of tasks related to food availability, quality, safety, nutritional value, and sensory properties—as well as those involved in processing, storage, and distribution. To assist in these functions, it is essential they have easy access to a collection of information on the myriad compounds found in foods. This is particularly true because even compounds present in minute concentrations may exert significant desirable or negative effects on foods.

Dictionary of Food Compounds, Second Edition is presented in a user-friendly format in both hard copy and fully searchable CD-ROM. It contains entries describing natural components of food raw materials and products as well as compounds added to foods or formed in the course of storage or processing. Each entry contains the name of the component, the chemical and physical characteristics, a description of functional properties related to food use, and nutritional and toxicological data. Ample references facilitate inquiry into more detailed information about any particular compound.

§  Natural Food Constituents

§  Lipids

Consumer Products Ingredient Dictionary in CD-ROM - CSPA

Consumer Products Ingredient Dictionary 2014 in CD-ROM, Consumer Speciality Products Association

The First Update to the Second Edition of the Dictionary is now available, featuring 487 Ingredient Monographs defining 988 trade names from 51 suppliers, and defining 1,866 technical or other names for those ingredients - a total of several hundred pages of technical information specific to consumer product uses.  The CSPA Dictionary was created to provide standard nomenclature for companies participating in the voluntary industry ingredient communication initiative. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Design for the Environment (DfE) Standard for Safer Products also identifies the CSPA Dictionary as an appropriate nomenclature system and encourages its use for DfE participants for the ingredient communication required for DfE partnered products.

Even if your company is not yet involved in ingredients communication, the CSPA Dictionary is an excellent reference for R&D lab and regulatory staff, with extensive information in each ingredient monograph, and you can also search for ingredients by chemical class, functions, and lots more. In addition to its primary purpose, the Dictionary now provides valuable benefits to:

§  Product formulation scientists, who can use it to search for what ingredients are currently used in consumer products by product category, chemical class, use function and other technical descriptors, and find out who supplies them, and under what trade names they are sold;

§  Regulatory compliance personnel, who can find further information on ingredients, including VOC/LVP status in consumer product air quality regulations and information useful for Safety Data Sheets; and,

§  Ingredient suppliers, who can file applications for their ingredients and brand names to be included and made known to product formulators

Edition: February 2015

Language: English

Country: United States

ISBN-13: 978-1118999981

IFRSs, the standards set by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are complex and sometimes obscure. Understanding their implications and applying them appropriately requires something special; and that is why International GAAP® 2015 is the essential tool for anyone applying, auditing, interpreting, regulating, studying and teaching international financial reporting. It provides expert interpretation and practical guidance for busy professionals, and includes, in every chapter, detailed analysis of how complex financial reporting problems can be resolved appropriately and effectively. The International Financial Reporting Group of Ernst & Young includes financial reporting specialists from throughout the world. Complex technical accounting issues are explained clearly in a practical working context that enables immediate understanding of the point at issue.

International GAAP® 2015 is the only globally focused work on IFRSs. It is not constrained by any individual country’s legislation or financial reporting regulations, and it ensures an international consistency of approach unavailable elsewhere. It shows how difficult practical issues should be approached in the complex, global world of international financial reporting, where IFRSs have become the accepted financial reporting system in more than 100 countries. This integrated approach provides a unique level of authoritative material for anyone involved in preparing, interpreting or auditing company accounts, for regulators, academic researchers and for all students of accountancy.

All aspects of the detailed requirements of IFRS are dealt with on a topic-by-topic basis. Each chapter of International GAAP® 2015 deals with a key area of IFRS and has a common structure for ease of use:

•  An introduction to the background issues

•  An explanation of relevant principles

•  A clear exposition of the requirements of IFRS

•  A discussion of the implications in practice  and possible alternative solutions available

•  Worked examples

•  Extracts from real company accounts

•  A full listing of the required disclosures
