Acknowledgments

The International Food Biotechnology Council (IFBC) expresses its deep gratitude to all the individuals who helped with the development of this report. The IFBC is indebted to each of the contributors and a complete list appears elsewhere in the report. Special mention, however, is made of the efforts of Dr. Stephen Rogers, who chaired the document drafting group, and Dr. Julianne Lindemann, who served as editor. Timely completion of this report would not have been possible without the support and guidance of the IFBC members, Board of Directors, and Executive Com- mittee. The staffwork of the IFBC has been carried out through cooperative arrange- ments with the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) and the Industrial Biotech.. nology Association (IBA). The complex logistics required for the development and preparation of this report were managed by Ms. Sharon Senzik, ILSI Liaison, who translated the objectives of the Board into a practical operational plan. Ms. Frances DeLuca, 1LSI Executive Assistant, was responsible for the assembly of the numerous drafts and final manuscript. Other people who worked directly on important details of this endeavor include Ms. Nalini Ramalingam and Ms. Sally Treadwell. The IFBC also gratefully acknowledges the interest and assistance of experts who provided infor- mation and constructive suggestions to the authors, including Dr. Lloyd Bullerman (Department of Food Science and Technology, University of Nebraska) and Profes- sor Cecil B. Still (Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, Cook College, Rutgers University).
