...NAME LYNETTE CHIRIDZA COURSE SENSORY SCIENCE PROGRAM FOOD PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY LECTURER MR MPOFU ASSIGNMENT ONE QUESTION Describe and explain the working principle of electronic noses and their application in the food industry. ANSWER Analysis of odour and flavour in food has traditionally been performed either by a trained sensory panel or by head-space gas chromatography mass spectrometry. These methods are time consuming and costly and there is need in the food industry for objective automated non-destructive techniques that can characterize odour and flavour in food. New methods should allow a high number of samples to be analysed within a short period of time with a sufficient reproducibility and accuracy. During recent years there has been a rapid development of a concept named electronic nose (artificial nose) based on chemical gas-sensor array technology which seems to fulfil these requirements (Russell et al, 2001) The principle of operation of electronic noses is simple. Headspace gas from a sample is introduced to an array of sensors, which will respond to different degrees depending on the nature of the organic compounds present. The electronic nose derived its name because it in several aspects tries to resemble the human nose. Human olfactory perception is based on chemical interaction between volatile odour compounds and the olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity. The signals generated are transferred to the brain...

Organization may refer to the combination of science and people. While science and technology can be predicted, human behavior in an organization cannot be predicted. This is because human behaviors arise from needs and value systems of people. Organizations refer to people this means that without people organizations would not exist. This means that if managers want to understand the organizations in which they work, they must first understand the people who are the constituents of the organizations. People are the most valuable assets of the organisation.they create the organization, guide and direct its course. People in the organization are the one who makes the decisions, solves the problems, and answer questions. The managers have to recognize the value of potential contributions by their employees;...

...The role of self-service technology within service retailing Since the beginning of time, commerce and trading has been at the center of society. As a vital part in the societal mechanism, commerce has evolved along with it. If in the beginning commerce involved an exchange between two people acting as the two parties, nowadays, in the era of technology, goods and services can be bought (or exchanged) without the physical existence of the seller. This is how e-commerce has begun, through the aid of self-service technology. According to Gable (1985), technology nowadays is changing rapidly. Retailing today is part of an era where top of the line technology is available for all and is developing fast, where companies make billions of dollars annually. The challenges in the retail section have never been greater. Consumption is increasing, despite the current situation of the economy worldwide. Expectations are rising and new market channels bring around new opportunities for retailers. However, with new opportunities comes a higher completion as well. A self-service technology is an object which allows every customer to interact with a self service software that puts the control into the hands of the customer. And there is no better example for this than the e-commerce mentioned above. The freedom to choose when, where, what, at what price to buy goods or services (think about planning your vacation and using the internet to make airplane, hotel or certain monument reservation)...

...ISSUES MANAGEMENT Crisis management, at its best, is crisis avoidance. Crisis avoidance involves excellent issues management. Introduction Cigarette smoking, global warming, the future of the rain forest, obesity, healthcare costs, DNA, intensive farming, child labour; these are just a few of the subjects that have influenced the way in which business operates over the past 30 years. Issues management practice is the “identification, monitoring, and analysis of trends in key publics’ opinions that can mature into public policy and regulatory or legislative constraint of the private sector” We will argue that the successful issues manager recognises when an issue had changed or has the power to change the context in which business operates; is able to pinpoint a specific threat or opportunity to a specific industry, company or product, in a specific part of the world at a specific point in time; and can execute a series of actions to do something about it while remaining vigilant for any shifts in interpretation that need new thinking. Issues Management: defining the field What is an Issue? It will come as no surprise to discover that there are many definitions of an issue. Chase and Jones describe an issue as “an unsettled matter which is ready for decision.” Others suggest that, in its basic form, an issue can be defined as a point of conflict between an organization and one or more of its audiences. A simple definition that we like to use is that an issue represents...

Understanding Computer Science, is necessary because of its power and influence in modern society. Learning of Computer Science should be activity based, process oriented, student-centred, environmental based and life oriented. The approach to learning is based on five domains of science: Knowledge domain, process domain, application and connection domain, domain of attitudes and values and creativity domain. But we know that most of the present vocational higher secondary teachers are not familiar with this paradigm. Hence for the first time we are introducing sourcebooks for all the subjects in the vocational higher secondary curriculum. This source book for computer science aims to provide guidelines to the teachers of our state to change their pedagogy from the conventional content-based approach to the process...

Concepts of trust are revisited. Rational explanations of trust are shown wanting, calculations of trust and danger being misrepresentations of how the willingness to trust is formed. The paper argues for the need to establish the interpretative and socially constructed nature of trust, primarily based upon prior experiential and psycho-motive learning in relation to current situational factors. Trust and its relationship to forming expectations and generating confidence are considered. Empirical findings are mobilised to show how trust contributed to value in a financial sense. Value is not an absolute in this context for value is empirically and theoretically...

The principle be it in physical or qualitative terms. Despite significant aims and objectives of all these programs have been inputs of human and financial resources, many fell short to bring about overall changes in the existing socio- of expectations. Projects failed to meet the priority economic structure in the country providing thereby needs of communities; stated outputs were not achieved dignified way of life to a citizen as a unit and socio- or, if achieved, not sustained; target groups did not benefit in the manner intended; project costs escalated economic up liftment of the society.
