Convergence of Agriculture and Energy: III. Considerations in Biodiesel Production
type: item
description: Concern about rising prices and unstable sources of petroleum fuels is driving the search for U.S. domestically produced, renewable transportation fuels, such as biodiesel, which is developing into a widely accepted alternative fuel. The U.S. biodiesel industry is struggling because of high prices for its feedstocks, vegetable oils, and animal fats. High feedstock prices also are affecting international biodiesel production, but requirements to lower greenhouse gas emissions continue to stimulate interest in the fuel. The authors of this new CAST Commentary explain the biodiesel production process and discuss quality requirements, characteristics of biodiesel, biodiesel economics, and energy balance.

Ionizing Energy in Food Processing and Pest Control: II. Applications
type: item
description: A number of years ago, CAST published two reports dealing with the irradiation of foods: Report 109, July 1986 and Report 115, June 1989. The Food Science and Agricultural Technology Work Group of the CAST Board of Directors believes that these documents contain a great deal of useful information that is not found easily elsewhere. Therefore, they have recommended that these reports be made available through the CAST website. Readers should be cautious, however, in using information that is obviously dated. Food irradiation can eliminate disease-causing bacterias. High doses produce sterile meat products that can be stored at room temperature in sealed containers without spoilage.
