    Abstract:
    This article compares the development of specialty food in Denmark, Norway and Sweden using a number of quantitative indicators as well as a qualitative analysis of government policy. The analysis shows that specialty food has increased in importance in all three countries over the last twenty years, but there are important differences in the kind of specialty food that has developed and the nature of government intervention and governance structures. Overall, Sweden appears to have the largest production of specialty food and drink and is particularly strong in organic production and consumption, farm processing and farm shops. Norway has a large number of products with protected origin and also leads in the number of farmers' markets. Denmark lags behind the other countries on most indicators, but has witnessed the fastest growth in microbreweries over the last five years. Theoretically, the article challenges the 'negative' definition of specialty food as 'non-industrial' or 'alternative', and suggests a more nuanced approach. Empirically, it points towards the possible existence of a 'Scandinavian model' of specialty food governance with extensive interaction between central government, local government and private firms to stimulate the growth of specialty food.

    According to rapid development of Korean food processing industry, our food life pattern is changed and due to opening of import for foreign processed food, our food life pattern is approaching into international gradually. Most of the food processing industry use Natural food additives and chemical food additives in any case generally. Upto now, consumers and food process manufacturers do not have exact data and information of food additives usage/production quantity and specially they know only about the limited knowledge of foreign food additives. This paper covers following article with our review of Korean food additives production records from 1985 to 1988. Functional classification, annual growth rate, annual production quantity and comparison, usage of food additives, functional product record, technology level of food additives production and status of usage in foreign countries. With comparison between level of Korean food additives production technology and that of foreign countries, I would like to require increasing to investment for the low level of our food additive industries and food processing industries with the understanding of food additives applications.

    Summary The purpose of the article is to review the use of food grade industrial enzymes in food processing. Only those enzymes directly added or deliberately used by the food manufacturer are considered. Areas of application covered include the baking industry, the dairy industry, the starch processing industry, the protein processing industry, and the fruit juice industry. The brewing and distilling industries are not included here as part of the food processing area. In addition, enzymes applied to cleaning of food processing plant and in food analysis are mentioned. Finally, the future developments of these products are briefly reviewed.

    By the analysis of input and output of 1981,1983,1987,1990,1992 and 1995,it was found that the share of food-industry was getting more and more in the agricultural output,agriculture was depending on food-industry to process and raise value.However,circuitous production was weakening the dependence of food-industry consuming agricultural products directly,food-industry was turning to the deep processing of agricultural products,the induced effect on agriculture was being reduced greatly.At the same time,based on province data from 2000 to 2002,with ecometric model,it was discovered that food-industry and agriculture still had remarkable industrial connection relations.Further industry subdividing,it was found that food-processing industry linked agriculture,food-manufacturing industry.So,quickening the development of food-processing industry is the key to strengthen the related effect of food-industry and agriculture.

    The article assesses the level of self-sufficiency in Russia with basic food products and their economic accessibility. The role of the food and processing industry in achieving food independence is shown. An analysis of food production and consumption, as well as the main indicators of industry development over a five-year period (2017-2021) is presented. The main problems in these areas are listed. It is noted that their solution requires more active participation of government institutions.
