英译汉：1、It was the advances in understanding the relationship between nutrition and health，often at the molecular level，that led to the concept of “functional food”(also referred to as “nutraceuticals”or “ pharmaceutical food”)as a practical and new approach to achieve

optimal health and possibly reduce the risk of disease.

翻译：对营养和健康之间关系的理解是经常建立在分子水平上，即将功能食品（又指“营养制品”或“药用食品”）的概念作为一种实际的新方法，以达到最佳健康状况并尽可能减少疾病风险。

2、It is envisaged that systems biology will facilitate the assessment of the activity of functional foods in humans and animal models, not least because it has the potential to measure small, multiple perturbations or patterns of response (such as those often induced by nutritional change) and to factor in variables such as genetic polymorphisms.

翻译：系统生物学使对功能食品在人体和动物模型中的活性进行评价更为容易，不仅是因为他有潜在的能力测量引起小而复杂的变化或模型应答（例如那些由营养改变诱发的应答），还因为他是变量因子，例如遗传多态性。

3、Furthermore, the fact that both the food and pharmaceutical industries are actively pursuing new developments in functional foods does not render this distinction more transparent.

此外，食品和制药行业积极积极追求功能性食品的新发展的事实并没有把这种区别讲的更加清楚。

4、Desirable functional properties include slower fermentation leading to increased persistence in the colon, so that beneficial effects and metabolic end-products are achieved in the distal region where many chronic gut disorders (ulcerative colitis and cancer) are primarily located.

所期望的功能特性包括缓慢发酵在结肠中形成积蓄，从而有益效应和代谢终产

6、The subject is not without its limitations one of which is the accurate sampling of biological materials, which has an impact on the accuracy of the quantitation of metabolites.

这种研究方法的局限性在于生物材料的准确取样，这对代谢产物量化的精确性有影响。

7、However the addition of an amino acid to a nonprotein food, on the assumption that the food will be consumed at some reasonable level together with a food containing a poor quality protein, could result in the ingestion of considerable quantities of an amino acid.

但是，如果在非蛋白食物中加入氨基酸，假设该食物能在某合理的水平上与含低质蛋白的食物一起被消化，那么就有可能导致某一种氨基酸的大量摄入。

in addition the amino acid is permitted only in amounts that produce a measurable improvement in protein quality,then there is no danger that excess amino acids will be consumed.

如果允许加入的氨基酸量对蛋白质质量的增进是可衡量的，那么消耗过量的氨基酸就没有危险。

and flavor ，along with the other characteristics of food，will be the

factors that cause the consumer to add a new formulated food to his diet ，perhaps displacing a more familiar traditional food 。The nutritional qualities of the new formulated products must be carefully designed to meet the nutritional need in the diet which results from the success of the new food 。

microbial processes used in food production traditionally employ microbial enzymatic activities to transform one food into another ，with the microbially produced food product having properties vastly different from those of the starting material 。

传统意义上，食品生产中的微生物过程需要微生物酶活性的参与将一种食品转化成另外一种食品，这种经由微生物生产而得的食品与原料的性质具有很大差别。

flavor and other characteristic difference between various types of alcoholic beverages reflect difference in the starting substrates and the production process ，rather than differences in the microbial culture or the primary fermentation pathways employed in the production of alcoholic beverages。

各种各样不同类型的酒精饮料之间风味和其他特征的不同反映了初始底物和生产过程的不同，而不是酒精饮料生产中采用的微生物培养或前发酵途径不同。

12、. food agencies are accountable to the President, to the Congress which has oversight authority, to the courts which review regulations and enforcement actions, and to the public, which regularly exercises its right to participate in the development of statutes and regulations by communicating with legislators, commenting on proposed regulations, and speaking out publicly on food safety issues.

翻译：美国食品机构最总统负责，对享有监督权的国会负责，对审查法案和强制执行的法院负责，对定期行使权力通过与立法者交流，对已批准的法规进行评论，公开食品安全问题方式参与法律法规的制定和完善的大众负责。

13、Although microbial growth is a problem when it results in food spoilage, microorganisms are used beneficially in the food industry for food production. Many of the food and beverages we commonly enjoy, such as wine and cheese, are the products of microbial enzymatic activity. For the most part, it is the fermentative metabolism of microorganisms that is exploited in the production of food products. The accumulation of fermentation products, such as ethanol and lactic acid , is desirable because of their characteristic flavors and other properties. Only a few processes, such as the production of vinegar, make use of microbial oxidative metabolism. The microbial production of food can be viewed as an exercise in harnessing microbial biochemistry to produce desired, rather than adverse, changes in food products.

The production of fermented food requires the proper substrates, microbial populations, and environmental conditions to obtain the

desired end product. Quality control is essential in food fermentation to ensure that the product is of high quality. A fermented may require additional preservation to prevent spoilage because further uncontrolled microbial growth could render it inedible. For example, once wine is produced, it must be maintained under anaerobic conditions in order to prevent its oxidation to vinegar.

The microbial processes used in food production traditionally employ microbial enzymatic activities to transform one food into another, with the microbially produced food product having properties vastly different from those of the starting material. In addition to the use of microorganisms to produce fermented food products, microbial biomass is now considered a potential source of protein for meeting the food needs of an expanding world population. Some microorganisms, such as mushrooms, have been used as food products for centuries. The growth of bacteria, algae, and fungi as protteinic food , however, is a relatively new concept. Microbial biomass can be used as an animal feed supplement or may be developed as a direct source of protein for human consumption.

14、The United States Constitution prescribes the responsibilities of the government’s three branches: executive, legislative and judicial, which all have roles that underpin the nation’s food safety system. Congress, the legislative branch, enacts statutes designed to ensure the safety of the food supply. Congress also authorizes executive branch agencies to implement statutes, and they may do so by developing and

enforcing regulations. When enforcement actions, regulations, or policies lead to disputes, the judicial branch is charged to render impartial decisions. General . law and statutes Presidential Executive Orders establish procedures to ensure that regulations are developed in a transparent and interactive manner with the public. Characteristics of the U.S. food safety system include the separation of powers among these three branches and transparent, science-based decision-making, and public participation.

The U.S. food safety system is based on strong, flexible, and science-based federal and state law and industry’s legal responsibility to produce safe foods. Federal, state, and local authorities have complementary and interdependent food safety roles in regulating food and food processing facilities. The system is guided by the following principles: (1) only safe and wholesome foods may be marketed; (2) regulatory decision-making in food safety is science-based; (3) the government has enforcement responsibility; (4) manufactures, distributors, importers and others and expected to comply and are liable if they do not; and (5) the regulatory process is transparent and accessible to the public. As a result, the U.S. system has high levels of public confidence.

Precaution and science-based risk analyses are long-standing and important traditions of U.S. food safety statutes, regulations, and policies are risk-based and have precautionary approaches embedded in

them.

汉译英：1、如果一种食品令人满意地被证明对一种或多种体内的目标功能有益，超越足够的营养效用，改善健康状况、达到安宁康乐或降低疾病风险等任一种方式，就可以认为是有功能的。

翻译：“a food can be regarded as functional if it is satisfactorily demonstrated to affect beneficially one or more target functions in the body, beyond adequate nutritional effects, in a way that is relevant to either improved state of health and well-being and/or reduction of risk of disease”.

2、Watkins和 German提出的综合的或是“组学的“方法（例如基因组学、转录组学、蛋白组学和代谢组学）中，衡量组织和体液中的不同代谢产物浓度的代谢组学与表型的变化最为相关，而表型与生长发育和整体健康相关。

翻译：In the global or “omic”approaches noted by Watkins and German . genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics), metabolomics, which measures the concentration of different metabolites in tissues and body fluids, is the most closely linked to the variations in phenotype that are relevant to growth development and overall health.

3、Dietary Fiber consists of nondigestible carbohydrates and lignin that are intrinsic and intact in plants. Functional Fiber consists of isolated, nondigestilbe carbohydrates that have beneficial physiological effects in humans. Total Fiber is the sum of Dietary Fiber and Functional Fiber.

Dietary fiber is primarily the storage and cell wall polysaccharides of plants that cannot be hydrolyzed by human digestive enzymes.

Lignin ,which is a molecule of polyphenylpropane units and present only in small amounts in the human diet, is also usually included as a component of dietary fiber. For labeling the dietary fiber content of food products within the United States, dietary fiber is defined an the material isolated by analytical methods approved by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOCO). Compounds such as sugar alcohol, polydextrose, and other oligosaccharides are not digested by human digestive enzymes and are thought to function like dietary fiber. These small polymers and oligosaccharides are not measured by the AOCO－approved methods for dietary fiber ,but methods for specific oligosaccharides and polysaccharides have been approved by AOCO.

4、随着更复杂的配置产品例如肉类似物得发展，配置产品将取代日常饮食中传统食物，消费者期望（并且应当得到）替代食物有相等的或更好的营养质量。With the development of more sophisticated fabricated products such as meat analogs, which will displace traditional foods from the diet, consumers will expect(and should receive) nutritional qualities equal to or better than those of the foods displaced.

5.加入的氨基酸可能受加工效应的影响，因此，虽然产品含有加入的氨基酸，但是它的营养质量却没有提高。

Processing effects may bind the added amino acid so that ，although the product contains the amino acid added ，its nutritional quality has not been improved。

6.奶酪的不同风味源于不同的微生物发酵剂、多样化的孵育时间和条件，以及

在发酵过程晚期包含或不包含第二种微生物。

The flavors of different cheeses result from the use of different microbial starter cultures，varying incubation times and conditions，and the inclusion or omission of secondary microbial species late in the fermentation process 。

7.任何含有未经FDA批准的食品添加剂或药物残留，或含有耐受量尚未经美国环保署确定或农药残留量超过环保署已确定的耐受量的食物或饲料都不能合法推向市场。

No food or feed item may be marketed legally in the . if it contains a food additive or drug residue not permitted by FDA or a pesticide residue without an EPA tolerance or if the residue is in excess of an established tolerance.

8、Wines: Wine is primarily from grapes, although other fruits are sometimes used. Red wines are produced by whole red grapes, whereas white wines are made from white grapes or from red grapes that have had their skins removed. The production of wine begins when the grapes are crushed to form a juice or must. In the classic European method of wine production, wild yeasts from the surface skins of the grapes are the only inoculum for the fermentation. In modern wine production, however, the microbiota associated with the grapes are inactivated by sulfur dioxide fumigation or by the addition of metabisulfite so that the “wild microorganisms”do not compete with defined yeast stains used to ferment the grapes in this process. The grape must is then inoculated with a specific stain

of yeast, normally a variety of . By using specific yeast strains and controlled fermentation conditions, a product of consistent quality can be produced. Initially, the grape must and yeasts are stirred to increase aeration and permit the proliferation of the yeasts. The mixing is later discontinued, permitting anaerobic conditions to occur that flavor the production of alcohol. The sugar content of the grapes and the alcohol tolerance limit of the yeasts determine the final ethanol concentration. The sugar content of the grapes depends on the grape variety and its ripeness and varies from season to season, accounting in part for the fact that some years and vineyards are better than other for the production of quality wines.
