意大利的食品质量和卫生的检测工作,主要由高等卫生研究院食品卫生研究所负责。而从事研究工作的则还有国家营养研究所,米兰大学食品工艺研究所、农业技术经济评价研究所等单位。他们根据意大利政府提出的“提高农业产量近期目的性计划”,从营养、毒性、检测、工艺等角度分别进行研究以求得比较好的效果。例如,开发新蛋白资源,由于使用植物蛋白后发生侏儒症,于是他们就研究锌与抗营养物质 Italy’s food quality and health testing, mainly by the Institute of Hygiene Institute of Food Hygiene. And engaged in research work there are the National Institute of Nutrition, University of Milan Institute of Food Technology, Agricultural Technology Economic Evaluation Institute and other units. According to the “Proposed Plan to Improve Agricultural Production in the Near Future” proposed by the Italian government, they conducted research on nutrition, toxicity, testing and technology to achieve better results. For example, developing new protein sources and developing dwarfism after using plant proteins led them to study zinc and anti-nutritional substances
