Q. Intake of which food additive category to be used regularly..
- preservatives
- antioxidants
- colors
- All of the above
Answer: d)
Estimates of the annual utilization of additives in the United Kingdom were combined with the assumptions that 32% of the UK production is exported and that 20% of food purchased is wasted. The calculation resulted in an estimated intake of 0.53 g of synthetic additives per person per day, or 440 ppm in a daily diet of 1200 g. It was suggested that this food additive intake would comprise preservatives, antioxidants, colors, emulsifiers, and phosphates.
Q. Assumption of Maximum Permitted Levels
- One-Phase Method
- Two-Phase Method
- None of the above
- All of the above
Answer: b)
This method is based on the assumption that the concentration of the food additive in each food item is the permitted maximum. The estimated daily intake is therefore calculated by multiplying the maximum permitted level (mg/kg) of additive in the food item by the average consumption of various food items (g/day).
Q. Food Balance Sheets
- Figures concerning the national production
- import
- export
- All of the above
Answer: d)
National food balance sheet studies coordinated by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) include figures concerning the national production, import, export, and net consumption of food and the contribution of each food to the intakes of energy, protein, and fat (FAO, 1984). The per capita consumption is calculated by simply dividing the net consumption of food by the total population.
Q. According to Verger et al., 1999 which age group has highest intake of additive.
- Young men
- Young women
- Children
- None of the above
Answer: a)
- Young men have the greatest demand for food; it may by thought that they also have the highest food additive intakes. However, a comparison of food consumption on a weight-to-body-weight basis indicates that children have the greatest intake of food.
