When Technology Meets Food!

For Human survival, food is the basic requirement. Humankind has became aware of the importance of eating well and how much food affects our health. 
GOOD FOOD brings GOOD HEALTH.


Technology isn't the first thing that comes to the mind when it comes to food.
however, technology over many years has changed the perception of food production through applications, robotics, data and processing.

To know how science has affected food, we must first know "What is Food Technology?"

Food  technology is a science which deals with the techniques and principles involved in processing and preserving the food substances.The study of 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 flavor and reduces the toxins in the food product which results in better distributional efficiency and easy marketing of the food products.


Now, it time to know "How does Technology help Food?"

Technology helps food manufacturers produce more efficiently for a growing world population. There are 7.5 billion people in the world right now and that means a higher demand for food each year. By using tech to improve processing and packaging, it can improve the shelf life and safety of food.
Robotics and Machines
The use of machines in the food industry also ensures quality and affordability. By using machines, it drives down the costs of keeping the food fresh and increases productivity.

Packaging and Waste
One of the biggest concerns for consumers right now is having healthy and sustainable goods. Consumers pay attention to labels and harmful ingredients, especially with social media, there is not much that companies can get away with anymore. Many companies use technology to help them “go green.” By using robotics and digitising, companies in the food industry are able to find alternatives to plastics and other harmful packaging to the environment.

IN CONCLUSION

The modern food processing techniques is the key to flourishing supermarkets we have today. Extra nutrients can be added while processing the food and processed food is less susceptible to spoilage. Some of the techniques used are spray drying, juice concentrates, freeze drying and the introduction of artificial sweeteners, colorants, and preservatives. Of late, many products such as dried instant soups, reconstituted fruits and juices, and self cooking meals were developed for the convenience of working people.
The food processing industries are involved in processes such as primary and secondary processing, preservation, quality management, packaging and labeling of a variety of products such as dairy products, fish products, fruit & vegetable products, meat & poultry products, confectionery products and food grains.
