Food Safety and Quality Assurance in the Food Chain: Focus on Foodborne Outbreaks
No full textThis chapter describes the foodborne outbreaks reported in the European Union during the last years, and number and type of notifications for different food categories contaminated with pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Some food safety hazards are associated with the primary production, i.e., on field or at farm level for food of plant or animal origin respectively, but also during the production process, foods can be improperly handled, processed, or stored, contributing to the incidence of consumer illnesses. The most representative pathogens in the reported data are Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Escherichia coli and Listeria
monocytogenes. The high percentage of hospitalization in some situations underlines the importance of both preventive and control measures to guarantee the public health

Anil Kumar Lala (1950–2004)
No full textAnil Kumar Lala, Professor of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay died on 17 July 2004, following a stroke that he suffered three weeks earlier. Born on 13 January 1950, Lala did his B Sc from Delhi University and obtained his Ph D in 1974,working under the supervision of A. B. Kulkarni at Bombay University. His doctoral work was in the area of steroid chemistry, introducing him to the areas of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Following a year at the Central Drug Research Institute in Lucknow, Lala moved to the State University of Ghent, Belgium,to work with Marc Anteunis. I first saw his name in a scientific publication,when the conformational analysis of methionine enkephalin, then recently discovered as the endogeneous ligand for the opioid receptor, was described by the French and Belgian groups, with Lala as a co-author (Roques, B. P. et al., Nature,1976, 262, 778). In 1976, he moved to Harvard University to work with Konrad Bloch and it is this period, which sparked his lifelong interest in membranes, specifically lipid–protein interactions. Lala joined the chemistry department at IIT,Mumbai in 1979 and it was here that he spent the remaining 25 years of his scientific career

Phenology:— Flowering and fruiting occur during September to February. Eponymy:— The specific epithet honors Padmashree Mr. A. M. Gokhalae (IAS, Retd.), former Director of the M. S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Chennai, India, for being a great lover of plants and plant taxonomy; he prepared a detailed electronic database for more than 7000 species of Indian angiosperms, which is one of the pioneering comprehensive efforts in digitization and digital identification of the group in India. Distribution and habitat:— Windward side of Wayanad-Silent Valley-Kodagu sub-cluster in the Nilgiri phytogeographical region of the Western Ghats. The range starts in Nadukani forests of Nilambur (Malappuram district) and extends to the Kakkayam and Thusharagiri forests of Kozhikode district through the evergreen forests in the western side of Wayanad Ghats. Evergreen forests, at elevations of ca. 400–750 m a.s.l. are the ideal habitat of the new species. It is seen mostly along the slopes as a lower stratum tree or shrub with scandent branches. Arenga wightii Griffith (1845: 475) is a common associate in most of its habitats. Rare, endemic and endangered species of Annonaceae such as Desmos lawii Safford (1912: 506), Goniothalamus wynaadensis Beddome (1868 - 1874:13), Meiogyne ramarowii (Dunn1914: 183) Gandhi (1976: 38), Orophea malabarica Sasidharan & Sivarajan (1990: 269), Polyalthia suberosa (Roxburgh 1795: 31.t.34) Thwaites (1864: 398), Sageraea laurina Dalzell (1851: 207), etc. are also found in its northern distributional ranges. Endangered and economically important trees such as Cynometra beddomei Prain (1897: 478), C. travancorica Beddome (1873: 316), Kingiodendron pinnatum Harms (1897: 194), Myristica beddomei King (1891: 291), etc. are common in its habitats. Artabotrys zeylanicus Hooker & Thomson (1855: 128), Desmos lawii, Smythea bombaiensis (Dalzell 1851: 36) Banerjee & Mukherjee (1970: 214), etc. are the woody climbers common in the habitats. In Nadukani forests a critically endangered tree species, Atuna indica (Beddome 1864: 45) Kostermans (1969: 422), is seen along with this new species. Interrelationships:— Miliusa gokhalaei is similar to M. indica and M. eriocarpa in having subsessile or shortly petiolate, hairy-nerved leaves, and axillary solitary flowers, flask-shaped carpel with 1–2 ovules. However, it differs in its unequal rounded leaf bases, sessile or shortly pedicellate flowers, thick fleshy petals, glabrous carpel and included connective of anther. The other related species is Miliusa montana, and the diagnostic morphological characters of the new species and the related species are given in table 1. Van Heusden (1992) studied morphology and evolution of flowers in Annonaceae and assigned key features for Miliusa group. Based on her characterization and structure of inner petals, the southern Indian-Sri Lankan and Andamanese species of Miliusa can be broadly classified into three groups - Miliusa nilagirica group, Miliusa indica group and Miliusa velutina group. Miliusa nilagirica group is peculiar among these because of the presence of recurved petals. However, van Heusden never noticed recurved petals in Miliusa group. This group is distinct from all others of the region in having fewer stamens. The peculiarity of Miliusa velutina group is the presence of flat inner petals. Miliusa mukerjeeana is the only other member of this group. All other species belong to Miliusa indica group in having saccate, sub-saccate or pouched petals. The new species also belongs to the Miliusa indica group in having saccate petals and numerous stamens. Additional specimens examined: — INDIA: Kerala: Wayanad District, Vythiri Ghats, 11 ° 30ʹ 24.3ʹ N, 76 ° 01ʹ 49.1ʹ E, 490 m, 30 September 2008 (with flowers), Sujanapal & Narayanan MSSH 4320; Ibid., 27 August 2009, Sujanapal & Narayanan MSSH 4388 (with flowers); Malappuram District, Nadukani Forests (Nilambur), 11 ° 29ʹ22.6ʹ N, 76 ° 15ʹ 19.4ʹ E, ± 510 m, 01 January 2009, Sujana MSSH 4382 (with fruits); Kozhikode District, Kakkayam Forests 11 ° 32ʹ 12.2ʹ N, 75 ° 55ʹ 12.2ʹ E, ± 525 m, 22 October 2008 (with flowers), Sujanapal & Narayanan MSSH 4378 (with flowers); Thusharagiri Forests, 11 ° 28ʹ 12.7ʹ N, 76 ° 08ʹ 11.2ʹ E, ± 450 m, 12 October 2008, Sujanapal & Narayanan MSSH 4372 (Herbarium of CAbC-MSSRF, Wayanad). Population structure and conservation status:— Populations of the new species are fragmented and seen in the lower storey, mainly along the western slopes of the Western Ghats between 400 m and 750 m a.s.l. in evergreen forests; they are represented by a few scattered mature individuals. There is no continuity in distribution from the southern to the northern populations. The southern-most population is located in the evergreen forests of Nadukani (Nilambur, Malappuram District). The major central population is in the Vythiri Ghats of Wayanad district and Thamarassery Ghats up to Kakkayam and Thusharagiri Range of Kozhikkode district at the northern tip. In all locations, populations of this new species are small. Our observations showed that there were only nine mature individuals in a 1 km 2 area of Nilambur. Compared to Nilambur, the population is comparatively large in Wayanad and Kozhikkode forests with more or less continuous distribution from Thamarassery up to Peruvannamuzhi. Altogether the distribution of this new species is restricted to 50 km 2. None of the localities is protected. The population at Nilambur is adjacent to human habitation, and waste disposal, pollution and degradation of habitat due to the nearby Sate Highway-28 are the main threats to this population. Increased anthropogenic interference in the form of firewood collection deepens the crisis. In Thamarassery Ghats the population is near to the National Highway-212, and the area is highly subject to various kinds of disturbances. The habitats in Kakkayam and Peruvannamuzhi ranges are highly disturbed due to construction activities related to two reservoirs and the forthcoming hydroelectric project. These construction activities promote calamities like landslides, soil erosion, etc. since it is lying along the sharp western slopes. By following IUCN criteria (IUCN, 2001) for assessing the status of Rare and Threatened plants, M. gokhalaei is assessed as belonging to Critically Endangered (CR) category. Its range (extent of occurrence) is less than 100 km 2, the population is severely fragmented and the quality of habitat is declining continuously.Published as part of Ratheesh Narayanan, M.
