Dans l'idéal, chaque individu consomme des aliments afin de satisfaire ses besoins en énergie et en nutriments, dans une quantité nécessaire pour assurer les fonctions physiologiques normales, pour prévenir tout symptôme de carence et pour assurer un niveau d'activité physique normal aux populations rurales comme aux populations urbaines. Alors que les «besoins» d'un individu varient en fonction de son âge, de son sexe, de sa taille, de son poids, etc., la «demande» en nourriture qui tend à satisfaire ces besoins est fonction des disponibilités alimentaires, mais aussi de ses goûts, de son revenu, des prix relatifs, de toute une série de facteurs plus subjectifs. 2, record 3, French, - besoin%20%C3%A9nerg%C3%A9tique

What is biochemistry? Biochemistry explores chemical processes related to living organisms. It is a laboratory-based science combining biology and chemistry. Biochemists study the structure, composition, and chemical reactions of substances in living systems and, in turn, their functions and ways to control them. Biochemistry emerged as a separate discipline when scientists combined biology with organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry. They began to study areas such as : how living things get energy from food; the chemical basis of heredity; what fundamental changes occur in disease. 2, record 4, English, - biochemist

Countries may be able and willing to regard a Codex Standard as the presumptive standard in cases where there is no corresponding standard, code of practice or other accepted expression of the "nature, substance or quality" of the food. A country need not apply the presumption to all the provisions of the standard if the details of its additives, contaminants, hygiene or labelling rules are different from those in the standard.

Altering the composition of the gaseous environment which a food product contacts reduces the rate of microbiological growth and enzymatic action, reduces the rate of oxidation, and also retards the loss of product water content through respiration of differential water-vapor pressure.... Controlled atmosphere packaging(CAP) means actually controlling the total gaseous environment the product experiences. In commercial practice, it usually means lowering the oxygen and raising the CO2 and assuring that O2 does not diminish to extinction while the respiratory gases are swept out. Controlled atmosphere packaging implies constant control over all gases : O2, CO2, H2O, and ethylene and other trace gases. 4, record 14, English, - controlled%20atmosphere%20packaging
