  2. Abiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis

    Subsequent research has shown possible routes of synthesis; for example, formamide produces all four ribonucleotides and other biological molecules when warmed in the presence of various terrestrial minerals. [124] [125] The RNA world hypothesis proposes that undirected polymerisation led to the emergence of ribozymes, and in turn to an RNA ...

    GADV-protein world is a hypothetical stage of abiogenesis.GADV stands for the one letter codes of four amino acids, namely, glycine (G), alanine (A), aspartic acid (D) and valine (V), the main components of GADV proteins.

    The microbial safety and stability of food are based on an application of preservative factors called hurdles. [22] The delicate texture and flavor of seafood are very sensitive to the decontamination technologies such as cooking, and more recent mild technologies such as pulsed light, high pressure, ozone, and ultrasound.

  5. Alternative abiogenesis scenarios - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_abiogenesis...

    Many alternative abiogenesis scenarios have been proposed by scientists in a variety of fields from the 1950s onwards in an attempt to explain how the complex mechanisms of life could have come into existence. These include hypothesized ancient environments that might have been favourable for the origin of life, and possible biochemical mechanisms.

    a "zero tolerance" approach to food fraud or food crime; a focus on intelligence gathering; the role of laboratory services; the value of audit and assurance regimes; targeted government support for the integrity and assurance of food supply networks; leadership, and; crisis management in response to any serious food safety or food crime ...

  7. Biogenic substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogenic_substance

    Crude oil, a transformed biogenic substance Natural gum, a secretion from Hevea brasiliensis. A biogenic substance is a product made by or of life forms. While the term originally was specific to metabolite compounds that had toxic effects on other organisms, [1] it has developed to encompass any constituents, secretions, and metabolites of plants or animals.

    For example, there is a significant difference in access to both water and humidity between temperate rain forests and deserts. This difference in water availability causes a diversity in the organisms that survive in these areas.
