Abstract There is no doubt that liquid-phase hydrocarbon autoxidation is one of the most thoroughly understood reactions in organic chemistry. Our knowledge of the elementary reactions involved in this process is so complete that it should be possible to calculate, with a reasonable degree of precision, the overall rate of autoxidation of a hydrocarbon or mixture of hydrocarbons, provided, of course, that the rate of chain initiation can be estimated. It should also be possible to make a reasonable intelligent guess at the stability of a solid system, with the reservations appropriate to the change of phase. With regard to inhibition, there is probably not a great deal of room for further improvement in the inherent efficiency of H-atom donating antioxidants. This is because a decrease in the strength of the X—H bond makes the hydrogen more susceptible to abstraction by molecular oxygen. Radical scavenging transition metal complexes also suffer from the limitation that the more reactive the complex is to ROO the more reactive it will be to O2. There may, of course, be further improvements in the efficiency of preventative antioxidants, particularly multi-functional antioxidants with the ability to decompose hydroperoxides and peroxides by several non-radical mechanisms and also scavenge free-radicals.

For today, the issue of maximum preservation of meat and meat products at all stages of their production, storage, transportation and realization does not lose its relevance. Existing ways of food products’ preservation for prevention of their microbiological damage are divided into three groups: physical, chemical and biological. The article gives an analysis of modern methods of meat and meat products’ processing. Physical (chill, freezing, super freezing, ionizing irradiation, ultraviolet irradiation, pressure processing, laser irradiation) and chemical (with the use of organic acids, trisodium phosphate, extracts of plants with bacteriostatic properties etc.) methods of meat and meat products’ preservation are characterized. The data on the methods for extension of realization term due to the use of modern packaging materials (modified atmosphere, system of ‘active packaging’ and aseptic packaging) is given. The advantages and disadvantages of each of these methods are indicated.

It was only six years ago that C. J. Slade wrote his memorable article “The Myth of Mistake in the English Law of Contract” in which he placed the whole subject of mistake in a new and agreeable perspective. “Mistake as such,” he declared, “has no operative effect whatever at law.”This was good news for the student; but problems of error in persona still had to be solved, and for these Mr. Slade proposed a simple application of the basic principles of offer and acceptance. The test was whether A's offer was addressed to B and B's acceptance addressed to A, their intention being construed objectively unless that of the one was known to the other, in which case the actual intention of the former determined the matter. The authorities, for the most part, ranged themselves in substantial support, and rationality, it seemed, had been injected at last into this confused branch of the law.This reassurance has now been disturbed by the case of Ingram v. Little, which reminds us that the offer and acceptance test is no magic formula acting as a ready panacea for all the ills caused by error in persona.The facts which gave rise to Ingram v. Little are by now well known. Three ladies who wished to sell their car were offered an acceptable price by a stranger, but they made it plain they would not accept payment by cheque. He then pretended to them that he was a certain P. G. M. Hutchinson and quoted an address which the ladies found to be the one shown beside that person's name in the telephone directory.
