Food Science and Processing Technology

Image
Food science and processing technology is the application of scientific principles and technologies to the creation, preservation, and packaging of food products. It involves the study of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of food and the use of this knowledge to develop safe, nutritious, and high-quality food products that meet consumer needs. Food processing technology includes a wide range of techniques, such as fermentation, pasteurization, freezing, and packaging, that are used to preserve, enhance, or transform the characteristics of food. Additionally, food scientists and technologists work to improve food safety, extend shelf life, and reduce the need for preservatives.

Food Science Important: The Ultimate Guide to The Food Science Industry

Image
Food science is the broad-ranging field of science used to better understand and solve real-world problems surrounding the complex food system. The entire industry of food science includes biochemistry, chemistry, nutrition, microbiology, and even engineering. At its core, food science studies the general makeup of food. Scientists need to understand basic nutrition concepts, such as carbohydrates, fats, protein, and water to better understand how they react with one another when they’re processed or preserved. In food science, researchers work to research and analyse multiple methods of processing and preservation. This includes drying, freezing, pasteurizing, and canning, just to name a few. In doing so, scientists are better able to produce quality control methods. Microbiology and safety aspects of food need to be understood, as well. Eventually, the food products developed will be put on the market so the average grocery shopper can consume them. International Food Scientist Award...

Food Scientist Career Video Transcript

Image
With a growing world population, the task of feeding everyone on the planet is getting bigger every day. Key to maintaining the nation’s food supply, agricultural and food scientists research ways to improve agricultural production and food products, while keeping conditions healthy and sustainable on farms, production facilities, and in the soil. Animal scientists research ways to improve the quality and productivity of farm animals for food production, through lowering animal death rates, increasing growth rates, and upgrading their environments. Food scientists and technologists study the basic elements of food. They analyze nutritional content, discover food sources, and develop ways to make processed foods safe and nutritious. Many create new food products, and research ideas to preserve and package food. Soil scientists examine the composition of the soil, how it affects plant or crop growth, and how different soil treatments affect crop productivity. Plant scientists develop imp...

NASA Space Food Research Facility

Image
Provide an unparalleled opportunity for food science and technology undergraduate and graduate students to obtain hands-on experiential learning on food processing technologies. The students who are hired as student researchers at the Space Food Research Facility (SFRF) work closely with NASA and its contractor (KBR) to prepare foods for the US astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS). The students’ primary focus is to assist NASA in preparing thermostabilized foods for the ISS. The SFRF is unique in that it provides both government, industry, and academic scientists the opportunity to investigate the combination of a variety of food processing technologies such as electron beam (eBeam) pasteurization along with legacy technologies that NASA and its space partners utilize. Some of the research projects have involved exploring the use of eBeam processing with lyophilization for highly perishable commodities such as fresh fruits to prevent fungal infestation.

We are proficient at conducting taste tests, both in central locations and the home environment. Our in-house facilities, Innervisions, includes a mini prep kitchen enabling some food and beverage research on site, for example, within focus group discussions or quantitative hall testing. Foods and drinks tested are as diverse as yoghurts, chocolate, sweeties, chips, champagne, beers, soft drinks, noodles, sauces, meat and poultry. And we love it when there are, on occasion, 1 or 2 spares for the team to try also! Our teams, in-house and in-field, are equipped with the knowledge to deliver these tests safely and efficiently, whatever the research environment. Our newly installed sensory facility opens up further opportunities within certain food and beverage categories, with 10 open booths, designed and built to ISO sensory lab specifications, and 6 closed booths.

UK’s Food Product Development Issues and Solutions

Image
Introduction: In the UK, today’s food processing companies face an increasingly challenging market. Food product development risks and payoffs are higher and more unclear than in the past due to limited internal resources and finances, a rising need to get quickly to market, brand names whose value is being strained, and demanding purchasers. 2022 is expected to be a complex operating environment for UK food producers, with labour shortages and difficult price decisions among the challenges that will preoccupy firm leaders for most of the year. Developing a new product line is both thrilling and challenging. Almost all firms make the same faults during the process of new product development. Understanding the food product development challenges can aid in prevention of time delays and keep your project on track on time. Pain Point Identified: Add in a new Covid fear – the Omicron version – and ongoing post-Brexit commercial issues between the mainland UK and Northern Ireland, and it’s...

Application of Nano Technology in Food Sector

Image
The “Nano biosensor” is one of the greatest instances of technology integration for the benefit of the food industry. It was made feasible by the combination of bioengineering, nanotechnology, and software engineering. Nano-sensors, electronic tongues, and bacteria identification are some of the frequently used applications of nano-biotechnology in monitoring the food quality. An electronic tongue has been developed which is included in food packaging and comprises nano-sensors. These were highly sensitive to gases released during food spoilage and the sensor strip changes colour, signalling the freshness of food products. By tracking food pollutants across the food production chain, nano-sensors may provide quality assurance. The nano-sensors may be used to precisely identify the existence of fugus or insects within bulk storage of grain. Gold, platinum, and palladium are wont to make the gas sensors. A nano-emulsion is a kinetically stabilized dispersion of two or more insoluble flui...

MSCA-funded support for researchers at risk: useful resources

Image
The past decade has clearly demonstrated the need for shared responsibility among countries, regions, institutions and individuals to address the escalating societal challenges we all face. One of these challenges is the continuing attack on academic communities worldwide in the form of threats to academic freedom and freedom of scientific research, which apart from threatening intellectual heritage of a country or region, leave highly educated talent without a personal or professional refuge. Since the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ of 2015, the European Commission has worked on developing and providing measures to respond to the needs of displaced students and scholars by helping them continue along their academic paths and easing their transition in the midst of new socio-cultural realities. This work has been reinforced in the current EU programming period (2021–2027) as concerns about threats to academic freedom continue to grow across and beyond the higher education and research com...
