This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Immediately after the flood, when animal food was permitted as an article of diet, the average of life was reduced to four hundred years; and when Jacob lived, it had gradually declined to one hundred and fifty years. This abbreviated period of human existence may not have been the effect solely of animal diet; but it doubtless had a considerable influence. 13. Lucretius, when describing the first ages of mankind, observes: ? The nerves that join'd their limbs, were firm and strong; Their life was healthy, and their age was long: Returning years still saw them in their prime;? They wearied ev'n the wings of measuring time: No colds, nor heats, no strong diseases wait, And tell sad news of coming hasty fate; Nature not yet grew weak, nor yet began To shrink into an inch the larger span. 14. Sanchoniathon, a Phoenician historian who flourished about four hundred years after Moses, says, that the first men lived upon the plants shooting out of the ground. Hesiod, the Greek poet, also says, the uncultivated fields afforded them their fruits, and supplied their bountiful and unenvied repast. So also Lucretius: ? Soft acorns were their first and chiefest food, And those red apples that adorn the wood. 15. Similar testimony respecting the food and longevity of the ancients, is also afforded by Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History; Berosus, who collected the Chaldean Creech's Translation. Book V.

Microbiology of Fruits and Vegetables $225.98 Fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables have an excellent safety record. However, surveillance data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and recent foodborne illness outbreaks have demonstrated that the incidence of foodborne illnesses linked to the consumption of contaminated fresh fruit and vegetable products may in fact be more prevalent than previously thought. U.S. FDA and USDA microbiological surveys of domestic and imported fresh fruits and vegetables demonstrate that human pathogens are sporadically found to be associated with fresh produce. In addition to increased safety concerns, microbial spoilage represents a significant source of waste for growers, packers, retailers, and consumers. <BR<BRMicrobiology of Fruits and Vegetables reviews the extensive research that has been conducted on microbiological problems relating to the safety and spoilage of fruits and vegetables in recent years. It considers incidences of human pathogen contamination, sources of microbial contamination, microbial attachment to produce surfaces, intractable spoilage problems, efficacy of sanitizing treatments for fresh produce, novel interventions for produce disinfection, and methodology for microbiological evaluation of fruits and vegetables. <BR<BRThe text is divided into five sections: <BR(I)contamination and state of microflora on fruits and vegetables<BR(II)microbial spoilage of fruits and vegetables<BR(III)food safety issues <BR(IV)interventions to reduce spoilage and risk of foodborne illness <BR(V)microbiological evaluation of fruits and vegetables.<BR<BRIn Microbiology of Fruits and Vegetables, the editors, three leaders in the field, have endeavored to present a comprehensive examination, focusing on issues needing coverage, rather than attempting an encyclopedic compilation.

Peaches and Other Juicy Fruits $10.48 Peaches. Plums. Nectarines. Apricots. They're summer's sweethearts. Eating them fresh off the tree, still warm from the sun, is one of the high points of the year.Now, award-winning cookbook author Olwen Woodier offers stone fruit lovers 150 enticing ways to savor these sweet and tangy flavors of summer.You'll find wonderful recipes for baking these fruits in crisps, cobblers, pies, and tarts. And peaches, plums, nectarines, and apricots pair up beautifully with ice cream and sherbet, or can be whipped up into frosty shakes and smoothies. But there are many other ways to bring the taste of summer to your table.For example, the flavors burst when the fruits are grilled, sautéed, or roasted. Plums are perfect with pork tenderloin. Nectarines are a natural with roasted chicken. Apricots are a perfect complement to turkey breast. There are also recipes for grilled salmon with nectarine and avocado and halibut with peaches.When you have a taste for something with an extra zing, Woodier suggests the tarter varieties of plums--damsons, greengages, beach plums, and some varieties of Italian plums. Because the flavor of these plums is more assertive, they can withstand stronger seasonings such as cloves and cardamom, cinnamon and ginger. Or for a real culinary treat, poach these plums in a fruity red wine.Summer fruits work beautifully in sauces and salsas. A nectarine chili sauce or a plum garlic sauce makes a terrific dip or a tasty sauce to brush on grilled meat. And when you're looking for something more exciting to dip tortilla chips into, try peach-plum salsa.Enhancing this luscious cookbook are fascinating sidebars. Woodier tells stories from the history and folklore of stone fruits: for example, did you know that apricots were first cultivated 3000 years ago near the Great Wall of China?
