Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food Technology is a science branch that deals with the techniques involved in production, processing, preservation, packaging, labelling, quality management, and distribution of food products. The field also involves techniques and processes that are used to transform raw materials into food. Extensive research goes behind making food items edible as well as nutritious. Food processing is one of the largest manufacturing industries in the world. There are more than 1.2 million retail food facilities (restaurants, grocery stores, and others) that serve or sell foods directly to consumers. The food processing industries are involved in processes such as primary and secondary processing, preservation, quality management, packaging and labelling of a variety of products such as dairy products, fish products, fruit and vegetable products, meat and poultry products, confectionery products and food grains. The food technology is to develop new methods and systems for keeping food products safe and resistant from natural harms such as bacteria and other micro-organisms. Food processing helps in preservation enhances the flavour and reduces the toxins in the food product which results in better distributional efficiency and easy marketing of the food product.This book contains 10 Chapters each focusing on the automation of Food Engineering, Food Processing, Food Packaging and labeling and Logistics.

Download or read book Science Breakthroughs to Advance Food and Agricultural Research by 2030 written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-04-21 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly a century, scientific advances have fueled progress in U.S. agriculture to enable American producers to deliver safe and abundant food domestically and provide a trade surplus in bulk and high-value agricultural commodities and foods. Today, the U.S. food and agricultural enterprise faces formidable challenges that will test its long-term sustainability, competitiveness, and resilience. On its current path, future productivity in the U.S. agricultural system is likely to come with trade-offs. The success of agriculture is tied to natural systems, and these systems are showing signs of stress, even more so with the change in climate. More than a third of the food produced is unconsumed, an unacceptable loss of food and nutrients at a time of heightened global food demand. Increased food animal production to meet greater demand will generate more greenhouse gas emissions and excess animal waste. The U.S. food supply is generally secure, but is not immune to the costly and deadly shocks of continuing outbreaks of food-borne illness or to the constant threat of pests and pathogens to crops, livestock, and poultry. U.S. farmers and producers are at the front lines and will need more tools to manage the pressures they face. Science Breakthroughs to Advance Food and Agricultural Research by 2030 identifies innovative, emerging scientific advances for making the U.S. food and agricultural system more efficient, resilient, and sustainable. This report explores the availability of relatively new scientific developments across all disciplines that could accelerate progress toward these goals. It identifies the most promising scientific breakthroughs that could have the greatest positive impact on food and agriculture, and that are possible to achieve in the next decade (by 2030).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book is an amalgamation of various topics which are quite relevant to academics pertaining to food science and technology. Sincere attempts have been made to map consumer's perception in terms of sensory evaluation of processed foods and their role on quality determination. To cover food safety, the topic of advancement in the traceability and transparency of food supply chain was also discussed in length. Besides, providing basic nutrition food has become an essential source of health promoting phyto-ingredients too. To take care of concerned population therapeutic foods has also been discussed with their future trends. Similarly, recent trends in functional and Nutraceutical foods were also discussed in detail so as to give an exhaustive overlook of such subject matter. To give impetus to the growing and aged generations the importance of the technology of weaning and geriatric foods was described in detail. Bio-preservation of various food products including fermentation had always attracted researchers for various reasons inclusive of its novel and chemical free approach of preservation which has been aptly covered under current expansions in microbiology for food preservation and also under progression in biotechnology and its application in food processing. The cross linkage of advance technologies inclusive of nano-science was elaborated as technological advances in nano- science for specific food and nutrition delivery. Oil and spice commerce are two giants pillars in food processing industries and readers would surely be wishing to understand the developments in the technology of oils refineries and condiments. Smart and intelligent packing systems always extend an upper hand as far as shelf life monitoring of any processed food is concerned especially when these are import worthy products. The science and technological approach of these packing innovations was also well covered.

Book excerpt: Highlights and examines the growing convergence between the food and agricultural industries—the technological, environmental, and consumer-related drivers of this change, and the potential outcomes This is the first book of its kind to connect food and the food industry with agriculture, water resources, and water management in a detailed and thorough way. It brings together a small community of expert authors to address the future of the food industry, agriculture (both for plants and animals), and water—and its role in a world of increasing demands on resources. The book begins by highlighting the role of agriculture in today's food industry from a historical perspective—showing how it has grown over the years. It goes on to examine water management; new ways of plant breeding not only based on genetic modification pathways; and the attention between major crops (soy, corn, wheat) and so-called "orphan crops" (coffee, cocoa, tropical fruits). The book then turns towards the future of the food industry and analyzes major food trends, the new food, and "enough" food; discusses possible new business models for the future food industry; and analyzes the impact that the "internet of everything" will have on agriculture and the food industry. Finally, Megatrends in Food and Agriculture: Technology, Water Use and Nutrition offers scenarios about how agriculture, food, and the food industry might undergo some radical transformations. Assesses the evolution of food production and how we arrived at today's landscape Focuses on key areas of change, driven by both innovation and challenges such as new technologies, the demand for better nutrition, and the management of dwindling resources Highlights the role of better-informed consumers who demand transparency and accountability from producers Is written by industry insiders and academic experts Megatrends in Food and Agriculture: Technology, Water Use and Nutrition is an important resource for food and agriculture industry professionals, including scientists and technicians as well as decision makers, in management, marketing, sales, and regulatory areas, as well as related NGOs.
