Abstract:
International consensus has been reached on the principles regarding evaluation of the food safety of genetically modified plants. The concept of substantial equivalence has been developed as part of a safety evaluation framework, based on the idea that existing foods can serve as a basis for comparing the properties of genetically modified foods with the appropriate counterpart. Substantial equivalence is a starting point in the safety evaluation, rather than an endpoint of the assessment. The development and validation of new profiling methods, such as DNA microarray technology, proteomics and metabonomics for the identification and characterization of unintended effects, which may occur as a result of the genetic modification, is recommended. The assessment of the allergenicity of newly inserted proteins and of marker genes is discussed. Also, the post-marketing surveillance of the foods derived from genetically modified crops is imperative.

Abstract:
Genetic modification of foods is one of the many ways of processing that can enhance foods to increase desirable qualities, such as herbicide tolerance, bacteria and insect resistance, improved nutritional value, and delayed ripening. However, a theoretical potential to increase the allergenicity of food proteins has been the subject of concern from critics. To prevent adverse effects from genetically modified (GM) crops, national and international organizations tightly regulate their production and recommend rigorous safety testing. Some safety tests were developed to assess potential allergenicity by studying the product’s similarity to known allergenic proteins, its resistance to pepsin digestion, and its binding to immunoglobulin E (IgE) from sera of patients with known relevant allergies. To date, these safety assessments have only identified rare GM foods with the potential to lead to immunologic reactions. These foods were stopped from being marketed commercially, and the products on the market now have passed required safety assessments. The rise in the prevalence of food allergy preceded the commercialization of GM foods and has also occurred in countries with limited access to GM crops, which highlights a lack of causative association between the two. Several studies provided further reassurance with no evidence of higher potency in specific IgE binding to GM foods. There are no studies that demonstrate adverse reactions due to GM food consumption, and GM foods may have the beneficial potential to silence major allergenic proteins. Therefore, physicians and other health-care professionals should counsel patients that the scientific data do not support an increased risk of allergic responses to GM foods.

Abstract:
This paper reports on one aspect of qualitative research on public understandings of food risks, focusing on lay understandings of genetically modified (GM) food in a UK context. A range of theoretical, conceptual, and empirical literature on food, risk, and the public understanding of science are reviewed. The fieldwork methods are outlined and empirical data from a range of lay groups are presented. Major themes include: varying “technical” knowledge of science, the relationship between knowledge and acceptance of genetic modification, the uncertainty of scientific knowledge, genetic modification as inappropriate scientific intervention in “nature,” the acceptability of animal and human applications of genetic modification, the appropriate boundaries of scientific innovation, the necessity for GM foods, the uncertainty of risks in GM food, fatalism about avoiding risks, and trust in “experts” to manage potential risks in GM food. Key discussion points relating to a sociological understanding of public attitudes to GM food are raised and some policy implications are highlighted.

Abstract:
Today, the demand for quality food is increasing and genetically modified food has become part of the Asian diet. Based on the potential of GM food products and Malaysia’s plan to expand its biotechnology industry, the market for GMO will surge if Malaysian consumers are well-informed on the advantages of GM food products. Therefore, this study proposed nine hypothesis to understand Malaysia consumers’ preference for switch from conventional food to genetically modified food. The result indicates that utilitarian, aversive and informational reinforcement will increase consumers’ preference towards genetic modified food if they are aware that genetically modified food brings more advantages than disadvantages to human being. In addition, result shows that consumer who switch will have higher intention to recommend GMO food to others and willing to pay more for GMO food.

Abstract:
The halal industry is growing vigorously to cater the Muslim consumers in Malaysia. The acceptance, awareness and perception towards the genetic modified food (GMF) is still insufficient to fulfil the Malaysian market and expectantly plays a major role in a long period. The purpose of this paper is to fill the knowledge gap to the study of GMF conducted in Malaysia. Qualitative data were collected via open-ended interview with four participants from various background namely Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) researcher, P3, P4 and P1 by using single case and different site. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and analysed. Almost all participants familiar with the term genetic modified organism (GMO) or genetic modified food (GMF) which are two different entities but similar in biotechnology scope. Almost all participants were familiar with the term of genetic modified food. Since most of the participants came out with the science and biotechnology background, they perceived the GMF product but some of them did not trust of these products for various reasons. The participants agreed on the need for more information from a trusted and credible source that can easily access by the consumers. This study provides an in-depth insight into consumer’ awareness, perception and evaluation concerning the halalan toyyiban status of genetic modified food in Malaysia. The novelty of these finding could provide information for the biotechnology food industry to expand its market and develop its profitability and reliability to promo sustainable food production and consumption in the population.

Abstract:
Transgenic plants are developed by introgressing new genes using methods of molecular genetics and genetic engineering. The presence of these genes in plant genome is identified on the basis of specific oligonucleotides primers, and the use of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and DNA fragments multiplication. Genetically modified plants such as soybean constitute a newly created bioenergetic potential whose gene expression can cause disturbance of the biological balance ecosystem, soil structure and soil microbiological activity. Genetically modified plants may acquire monogenic or polygenic traits causing genetic and physiological changes in these plants, which may elicit a certain reaction of the environment including changes of microbiological composition of soil rhizosphere. The aim of introgressing genes for certain traits into a cultivated plant is to enhance its yield and intensify food production. There are more and more genetically modified plant species such as soybean, corn, potato, rice and others and there is a pressure to use them as human food and animal feed. Genetically modified soybean plants with introgressed gene for resistance to total herbicides, such as Round-up, are more productive than non-modified herbicide-sensitive soybeans.

Abstract:
The National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard (PL 114-216) will require nearly all foods sold in the U.S. to bear a statement disclosing whether they contain genetically modified (GM) material. Past studies suggest the presence of such a statement could have profound effects on consumers; however, research comparing consumer response towards different GM-disclosure statements is scarce. PL 114-216 states that GM foods shall not be considered more or less safe than their non-bioengineered counterparts, nevertheless it would benefit regulators and food manufacturers to be aware of the possible effects such disclosures might have on consumers. In a nationwide survey, multiple disclosure statements with varying degrees of public familiarity were compared to evaluate consumer perceptions and attitudes associated with each statement. Average consumer knowledge level of GM processes was also measured. The statements were then paired with actual food items to determine whether specific product categories influenced consumer responses. A select few of these statements and foods were included in a taste panel, allowing researchers to analyze if disclosure statements affected a consumer's sensorial experience. Results suggested that consumers were most favorable towards statements indicating the absence of GM-material, however they also responded less negatively towards new disclosure statements that do not have negative connotations. Additionally, consumers may react differently depending on the food accompanying a particular disclosure, although the taste panel data found no evidence that statements affected actual eating experience. Importantly, data from both surveys and taste panel suggested a disclosure statement may affect consumer willingness to buy a product.

Abstract:
Vermont is the first and only state in the US to establish mandatory labels for food containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This thesis investigates the impact of the mandatory labeling law as it relates to changes in prices, quantities sold, and opinions of GMOs. First, grocery store scanner data from Vermont and Oregon are compared using triple difference (difference-in-difference-in-difference) models. Next, Vermont, Oregon, and Colorado survey response data are compared using difference-in-difference models. The findings reveal that there is a general price premium for non-GMO goods of $0.05/oz across all states and times, that mandatory labeling laws do not result in a short-term change in quantities sold or prices of GMO products, and that both mandatory labeling laws and failed mandatory labeling referendums cause an increase in support for GMOs in the food supply. The implications of this research are that mandatory GMO labels did not impact short-term prices or sales and increased the level of support for GMOs.

Resumo: A aplicação comercial da tecnologia de transgenia agrícola a partir do final do século XX e a disseminação de seu uso no início do século XXI implicam não somente a rápida e radical transformação do setor agrícola mundial, agora tecnologizado em todas as esferas do processo produtivo, mas sobretudo transformações radicais no significado da sementes e da vida, com impactos econômicos, sociais e ambientais ainda em aberto. A utilização da tecnologia de transgenia no mundo é entendida como um vetor estratégico de dominação, promoção de conflitos políticos e sociais, bem como de ruptura de referenciais de várias ordens na sociedade moderna. A tese analisa os processos de inserção comercial de sementes transgênicas nas sociedades brasileira e argentina a partir de 1990 (principalmente a partir dos Governos Fernando Henrique Cardoso e Carlos Menem). Como elementos fundamentais dessa análise, faz-se referência à construção da transgenia agrícola como um problema de ordem socioambiental no Brasil através da discussão sobre os seguintes elementos: a articulação da sociedade civil organizada brasileira e as consequências de sua mobilização, a construção da política nacional de biossegurança e a estrutura de pesquisa em biotecnologia no país. No caso Argentino, discute-se a expansão do modelo sojeiro, a estrutura de decisão técnica e política sobre biotecnologia e segurança, a dificuldade na construção de diálogo entre a sociedade civil organizada argentina e os âmbitos de decisões tecno-políticas governamentais. Demonstra-se que a tecnologia produz diferentes padrões de ações nas sociedades em que é incorporada comercialmente. Esses padrões de ações são reflexo de parecidos, porém distintos, contextos políticos, econômicos e sociais, em que a mobilização e contestação social merecem destaque
Abstract: The commercial use of transgenic seeds in agriculture since the end of the 20th century and its disseminated use in the beginning of the 21st century lead not only to radical changes in the world's agriculture sector, now technologized in all spheres of the productive process, but also to radical changes into the concepts of seeds and life, with economic, social and environmental impacts that remain open. The use of transgenics in the world is comprehended as a strategic element of a domination process, as a trigger of social and political conflicts, so as an element of rupture of many references. The thesis analyses the commercial introduction of transgenics seeds in the Brazilian and Argentinean societies since 1990 (especially after Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Carlos Menem were elected). As fundamental elements of this analysis, reference is made to the construction of transgenics as a socioenvironmental problem in Brazil through the following aspects: the organizational model of the Brazilian civil society and the consequences of its mobilization, the construction of the national policy on biosafety, and the development of biotechnology research. In regard to Argentina, the thesis touches upon the expansion of the soy model, the technical and political decision making process regarding biotechnology and biosafety, the intricacies of the participation and political dialogue among the Argentinean organized civil society and the technical and political decision making agencies and processes. The thesis illustrates that the technology produces different patterns of action on the societies it is commercially incorporated. These patterns reveal similar but diverse political, economical and social contexts, wherein the social resistanceand mobilization are issues are emphasized

Abstract:
This thesis addresses the puzzle of variation in first-generation regulatory policies for controversial science and technology, as demonstrated in the cases of agricultural genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and human embryonic stem cell research in the United Kingdom and the United States. Why did policy outcomes vary in each technology case? This study answers this question by placing greater emphasis on institutional factors. Although works within institutional analysis, bureaucracy and regulation literatures make significant progress in revealing how existing institutions can shape outcomes, how far one can characterize bureaucratic behavior and whether interest groups capture regulation, they nevertheless create an opening for research that: describes a mechanism for path dependence to explain variation in policies; shows the degree to which bureaucratic behaviors can influence outcomes; and, highlights instances in which regulatory officials hold power. This thesis makes an original contribution by providing new historical details relating to these cases, and by providing an extensive elaboration of Pierson’s criteria for increasing returns and a so-called secondary test of path dependence to explain outcomes. The study recounts the biography of key policy documents in each case by tracing the process of decision-making through government and archival sources, secondary literature and more than 40 elite interviews. In doing so, it details the activities of key governmental bodies within the European Union, UK and US. Moreover, it shows how the Coordinated Framework (1986) and Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 framework represented decision-making structures which triggered changes in actors and interests and shaped permissive outcomes for GMOs and stem cell research in the US and UK, respectively. Furthermore, lack of comparable structures may help account for restrictive policies for GMOs in Europe and the UK, and for stem cell research in the US.

Abstract:
With the introduction of antibiotics in animal feed becoming less popular, the agricultural industry has begun a shift towards the use of probiotics in animal feed. Since there is no current method to evaluate the risks of using genetically modified probiotics in animal feed. The goal of this project was to create a genetically modified model organism for risk assessment. The genetic marker for that was chosen was GFP that was to be expressed on the surface of the cell. The fluorescent properties allow for visualisation of the genetically modified bacteria and the surface expression would allow for the easy capture and recovery of the bacteria for culturing and cell counts. Genome wide screens were performed using the CW PRED algorithm to locate proteins with LPXTG motif for cell wall anchoring. 16 hypothetical proteins were detected and 6 were selected as candidates for possible surface display of GFP. Of these candidates, the novel L. casei protein LSEI_2320 was found to be expressed at the mRNA during early growth by RT PCR and at then protein level during stationary phase with western blot. This LPXTG protein was found at the surface of L. casei ATCC334 during stationary phase and late stationary phase with immunofluorescence microscopy. A genetically modified L. casei ATCC334 was constructed using the surface protein LSEI_2320 locus as a region for recombination with the pRV300 suicide plasmid. Genetic modification of the locus by the insertion of a GFP reporter region just before the predicted signal peptide site resulted in the abrogation of the expression of LSEI_2320 from the cell surface at the late stationary phase. It appears that this particular gene is not necessary to cell survival even though it is abundantly expressed on the cell surface and can be used as a location for genetic modification in L. casei ATCC334.

A presente dissertação tem o objetivo de discutir o problema da responsabilização dos fornecedores de alimentos quimicamente manipulados e geneticamente modificados por riscos e danos causados à saúde e à vida do consumidor, nos casos de risco de desenvolvimento, pois não há disposição legislativa no CDC brasileiro que regule, de forma clara, essa questão. Utilizar-se-á, como referencial teórico para este trabalho, a teoria da sociedade de risco de Ulrich Beck, a qual possibilitará demonstrar, na atualidade, o contexto de risco em que se encontra a produção no setor alimentício. E, a partir de estudos sobre Biodireito e Bioética, buscar-se-á uma base argumentativa que apresente possibilidades para que o sistema jurídico atue garantindo a proteção da saúde e da vida humana. Após essas considerações, percebe-se que, diante da fragilidade e da vulnerabilidade da vida, não é possível a exclusão da responsabilidade civil para os fornecedores de alimentos com base no risco de desenvolvimento.

Using how theoretical reference, for this work, the risk society theory of Ulrich Beck, that shows the risk contest that finds the production in the food industry. Since this studies about Biolaw and Bioethic, will search argumentations that present possibilities so that juridical systems act to the protection of the human health and life. After these consideration, will realize that, beyond a fragility and the vulnerability of life, it’s not possible the civil accountability exclusion to the food suppliers, based in the development risk

With the biotechnology advancement and development, with special focus on genetic engineering, also rises the requirement of ethical fundamentals in a scenario of constant modifications. When it comes to transgenic food, there‟s controversy in the philosophical, ethical, environmental, political, legal and economic field because it‟s a subject which is inside of the daily reality, with very fast changes and in that context, the Brazilian and international legislation seems to doesn‟t follow the technology velocity and Science becomes a political and economical instrument. In this article, international law and national law related to the using of genetically modified organism are analyzed, pointing out the 11.105/05 law, considering the origin, shape and evolution of genetically modified organism, the importance of obeying the environmental law when handling and distributing products resulting of these genetic modifications to the public consumption, this law analysis, going through the environmental impacts, giving importance to the cost-benefit and the risk expressly taken by the scientific community, besides the own concept of consumer, proving the need of genetically modified food labelling and the reality of what really happens in the process of patenting acquisition in the international law and in the Brazilian law and jurisprudence decisions.
Com o avanço e o desenvolvimento da biotecnologia, com enfoque especial na engenharia genética, surge também a necessidade da inserção da ética e de seus princípios em um cenário de modificações constantes. No que tange aos alimentos transgênicos, polêmicas são levantadas no campo filosófico, ético, ambiental, político, social, jurídico e econômico, pois o tema está inserido em uma realidade do nosso dia a dia, com mudanças muito rápidas e diante deste contexto, as legislações brasileiras e internacionais parecem não acompanhar a velocidade da tecnologia e a ciência passa a ser instrumento da política e da economia. No presente trabalho são analisadas leis internacionais, legislações relativas à utilização dos organismos geneticamente modificados, ressaltando-se a Lei 11.105/05, considerando a origem, a forma e a evolução do organismo geneticamente modificado, a importância da obediência às leis de Direito Ambiental no manuseio e distribuição dos produtos oriundos destas modificações genéticas para o consumo da população, a análise desta legislação, passando pelos impactos ambientais, dando ênfase ao custo benefício e ao risco assumido expressamente pela comunidade científica, discorrendo ainda sobre o direito do consumidor, além do próprio conceito de consumidor, demonstrando também a necessidade da rotulagem dos alimentos geneticamente modificados e a forma como acontece o processo para obtenção de patentes tanto na legislação exterior quanto na legislação brasileira e as decisões jurisprudenciais.

Abstract:
Genetic engineering and modification of food crops has been emerged as one of the most relevant issue for debate due to concern over its direct impact on human health and environment. The striking development and advancement of biotechnological techniques lead to the generation and production of genetically modified plants with improved features such as increased resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses. In spite of all the success made by plant geneticist, the genetic engineering of food crops is still in its infancy and there is a need to carefully notice the issues that can be directly detrimental to the environment and human health. Further, from a basic genetics perspective, genetically modified foods may possess unpredictable components and their unintended amount that can be far different than the desired alteration. Open questions and challenges for production and application of genetically modified crops will be discussed in the current chapter.

Abstract:
Native one-chain t-PA is cleaved by plasmin or by trypsin after the Arg in the sequence -Gln-Phe-Arg-Ile-Lys-. Variants of one-chain t-PA where the -Arg- was replaced by a His (Arg to His) or by a Lys (Arg to Lys) or by a Thr (Arg to Thr) were made through genetic modification. The three mutants and the wild type were expressed in animal cells and purified in the one-chain form by affinity chromatography as was t-PA from Bowes melanoma cells. In contrast to wild type and melanoma t-PA the mutants reacted poorly with polyclonal antibodies raised against the peptide -Gln-Pro-Gln-Phe-Arg-Ile-Lys--Gly-Gly- indicating mutation in the sequence. Of these proteins only the Arg to Thr mutant was resistant to plasmin cleavage as evidenced by SDS-PAGE. t-PA antigen values (ELISA) and fibrinolytic activity values (fibrin clot lysis assay) yielded the following specific activities expressed in IU/|μg: 810 (Arg to His), 640 (Arg to Lys), 290 (Arg to Thr), 810 (wild type) and 660 (melanoma t-PA). The amidolytic activities for the one-chain proteins against D-Ile-Pro-Arg-pNA at pH 9.0 and 37°C, expressed in mOD per minute at 1 M-g/mL of enzyme were: 15.8 (Arg to His), 13.6 (Arg to Lys), 8.3 (Arg to Thr), 10.0 (wild type), 9.6 (melanoma t-PA) as compared to 55.2 for two-chain melanoma t-PA.All mutants including the uncleavable Arg to Thr mutant could be used in determination of PAI activity in plasma samples. Only one-chain t-PA reacts selectively with PAI 1. Thus, use of the Arg to Thr mutant represents a theoretical advantage in PAI 1 activity determination since preparations of this mutant most likely is free of contaminating two-chain t-PA.The plasminogen activation rate as measured in a coupled assay in the presence and absence of fibrin at 0.5 jiM plasminogen and 37°C was measured and the stimulation factor calculated. This was about 950 fold for the Arg to Thr mutant wich was considerably higher than that of melanoma one chain t-PA and the other mutants wich all were about 550 fold. The stimulation factor for melanoma two-chain t-PA was in the same experiment about 120 fold. The extra fibrin sensitivity of the Arg to Thr mutant resulted in improved soluble fibrin assay according to Wiman and Renby Thromb. Haemostas, (1986) 55:189-193.In conclusion: the use of a plasmin insensitive protein-engineered mutant of t-PA gives advantages in assays for PAI 1 and soluble fibrin.
