be used to process milk, cream, ice cream mix, milk concentrates and other dairy products for consumer and in- stitutional markets. Packaging for the product at Nelson Dairy is the aseptic pouch system, the first installation in North America. Excello Pure Pal< equip- ment has also been installed for 'long life' products. While the Nelson Dairy installation currently produces 2,500 litres per hour, systems to 8,000 litres per hour are now under construction and larger units are planned. The system is fully auto- mated, using computer based control for all functions including the DASI process, CIP, standardized blending and product selection. The DASI FreeFallingFilm@)System employs a "Free Falling" principle in which milk is heated as it falls in thin sheets through a steam atmosphere. Because the milk never touches any sur- face while it is heated and is exposed to ultra high temperatures for only a fraction of a second, it retains the natural flavor of pasteurized milk. • New Bacterial Growth Analyser Accurate analyses of bacterial growth in blood, urine and food can be made more quickly than ever before with the British-designed Microbiological Growth Analyser. It can analyse blood samples in one day compared with 10 days for the radioactive food method, can precisely tell bacteria growth levels in food within three hours compared with 24 for the conventional method, and can measure antibiotic sensitivity in one working day compared with two or three needed for optical meas- urement.

Beaton of the University of Toronto, represents efforts of more than forty Canadian nutritionists who assessed the scientific literature on human re- quirements for energy and nutrients. To set the RNI, the committee con- sidered the requirement for a nutrient to be the level of dietary intake that per- mits the establishment and mainte- nance of a reasonable level in bOdy stores. The recommended intake is an estimate of the amount of a nutrient that meets the requirements of most people within a specific physiological group (age, sex, body size, physical ac- tivity, type of diet). It is assumed that the requirements of the group are nor- mally distributed and that the average value plus two standard deviations (30 % ) is an appropriate recommended intake for a nutrient. The NRI, therefore, exceeds the requirements for most people. The rate of nutrient is expressed on an average daily basis; however, the recommended amount need not be in- gested each day so long as on average the intake is at the recommended level. In practical situations, intakes vary from day to day. Some important changes appear in the new recommended intakes. The re- quirements for thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and essential fatty acids are now related to energy, and the vitamin B6 requirement is expressed in proportion to protein intake. The level for ascorbic acid is raised from 30 to 60 mg per day for adult males and 45 mg per day for adult females. This sex difference is derived from the average difference in body size. Thiamin is lowered by 20% to 0.1 mg per 1000 kJ of energy. The values for folacin include all of its forms and not just the free folic acid. Iron for the pregnant woman, believed to have low iron stores, is recommended at the level of 20 mg per day. New data on in- fants led to revised values of re- quirements that more closely approx- imate the nutrient and energy intake of breast-fed babies.

To set the RNI, the committee considered the requirement for a nutrientto be the level of dietary intake that permits the establishment and maintenance of a reasonable level in bOdystores. The recommended intake is anestimate of the amount of a nutrientthat meets the requirements of mostpeople within a specific physiologicalgroup (age, sex, body size, physical activity, type of diet). It is assumed thatthe requirements of the group are normally distributed and that the averagevalue plus two standard deviations(30%) is an appropriate recommendedintake for a nutrient. The NRI,therefore, exceeds the requirements formost people.
The rate of nutrient is expressed onan average daily basis; however, therecommended amount need not be ingested each day so long as on averagethe intake is at the recommended level.In practical situations, intakes vary fromday to day.
Some important changes appear inthe new recommended intakes. The requirements for thiamin, riboflavin,niacin, and essential fatty acids are nowrelated to energy, and the vitamin B6requirement is expressed in proportionto protein intake. The level for ascorbicacid is raised from 30 to 60 mg per dayfor adult males and 45 mg per day foradult females. This sex difference isderived from the average difference inbody size. Thiamin is lowered by 20%to 0.1 mg per 1000 kJ of energy. Thevalues for folacin include all of its formsand not just the free folic acid. Iron forthe pregnant woman, believed to havelow iron stores, is recommended at thelevel of 20 mg per day. New data on infants led to revised values of requirements that more closely approximate the nutrient and energy intake ofbreast-fed babies.
It is expected that the document willbe useful for those planning diets fordifferent groups and situations.
