Cats are sensitive to flavour differences in the diet, discriminative in food selection and cannot verbalize preferences. Use of a human taste panel to optimize sensory properties and acceptance of canned cat food is reported.

Results were unable to clearly show the presence of transgenic DNA or proteins in bovine blood, despite demonstrating the ability of small plant DNA fragments to cross the intestinal barrier. Difficulties associated with detecting transgenic sequences in the blood of cows fed GM corn were encountered.FSTA ReportWed, 10 Jun 2009 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.foodsciencecentral.com/fsc/ixid15666http://www.foodsciencecentral.com/fsc/ixid15666The alveograph is a useful rheological tool for assessing the processing quality of wheat flours.
