The impact of man-made chemicals on the environment, and in particular, the ozone layer, has been investigated over the last 20 years. The phaseout of CFCs under European Regulations and the Montreal Protocol has already taken place and HCFCs are set to follow. A wide range of alternative refrigerants with zero ozone depletion potential have already been developed as replacements for the refrig...

The modern food processing industry began in 1810 when Nicolas Appert invented the canning process. This was followed by the invention of a mechanical ammonia refrigeration system in 1875. In the 1860s Louis Pasteur had discovered the connection between the micro-organism and food spoilage, this put the development of food processing and preservation techniques on a firm scientific foundation. ...

Engineering strategies to counter occupational heat stress usually involve reducing the environmental heat load (through shielding, refrigeration and increased air flow) to facilitate heat dissipation from the human body, and/or improved mechanization to minimize high metabolic rates. In the South African mining industry, technological and economic constraints often preclude a purely engineerin...

Milk proteolysis caused by Pseudomonas fluorescens is a serious problem in the dairy industries as a result of its ability to grow under refrigeration. The use of phages to control contaminants in food has been considered an alternative to traditional methods; therefore, a thorough understanding of such organisms is vital for their use. In this study, we show the complete genome sequence and an...
