About Food Technology And Its Developments

Food Technology; this particular branch in science deals with the manufacturing and production process of the food. This area has seen rapid development in recent years and has proved to have great potential in the coming future.

Earlier food technology was confined to the preservation process of wines and then further extended into canned foods processing. At present, you can see the results of food technology each and everywhere, like milk products, beverages, fast foods etc. With far more focus on food technology and very talented food technologists, we are being introduced to various new food types in a daily manner. Food Technologist should go deeper into research on food quality, storage, safety, preservation, packaging, and distribution. They should have good knowledge of microbiology, food chemistry, and food processing & preservation techniques.
