Emulsifying Agents And Types Of Emulsifiers

Posted on by

Emulsifying agents are soluble in fat and water to allow uniform dispersion of fat in water. Emulsifying agents are also called emulsifiers and present in the food like butter, mayonnaise and salad dressing. These have one hydrophilic and one lipophilic part. These agents surrounds the oil droplets in water and reduces the tension between the two liquids thus impart stability.

Classification of Emulsifiers
These can be classified on the basis of chemical structure and mechanism of action. Under chemical structure category are synthetic, natural, auxiliary agents and finely dispersed solids. In the category of mechanism of action comes the monomolecular, multimolecular and solid particle films.

Natural emulsifying agents are derived from plant and animal tissues and mostly in the form of hydrated lypophilic colloids. These emulsifiers make the protective sheath around the droplets, give droplets a charge so that they repel each other and swell to step-up the viscosity of the liquid.

Posted on by

A U.N. agency says 11 million people in Africas Sahel region still face severe food insecurity. At the same time, an emergency appeal for 113 million dollars has gone largely unmet.

De Capua report on Sahel food insecurity
The Food and Agriculture Organization says the Sahel has faced food insecurity crises in 2005, 2008 and again in 2012. Those crises, it says, have eroded the capacity of the poor to maintain or restore their livelihoods.

In Dakar, Patrick David, FAOs deputy coordinator for food security analysis for West Africa and the Sahel, said, There is still a lot of people in food insecurity. The people more and more find some difficulty to recover from the past crisis even if there is a good harvest because there have been pretty good harvests in 2012.

Posted on by

The contribution of agriculture towards GDP of the country is one percent but it still occupies place among the major sectors of the economy of the US. Idaho is the agriculture state and it is affected by the pollution generated from the industries. The waste that is transmitted from the industries is piped into streams and lakes and is contaminating water and affecting the agriculture sector in the state.

Idaho is an agriculture state and is a producer of nearly one third of potatoes grown in the US. The recent growth of industrialization is affecting the agriculture sector of the state. The agriculture land of the state is supplied water contaminated with the waste emitted from industries, the agricultural land is producing less than what it actually can.

The agriculture sector the main source of economy of the state can no longer yield the expected results if the same situation continues to exist. The waste generated by these industries is disturbing environmental balance of Idaho which is very important for proper growth of the crop. Immediate action should be taken to protect the environment from pollutants that are emitted from the industries and other projects that are carried in the state.
