Food Processing

About Food Processing

The process of turning unprocessed food ingredients into edible and commercially viable food items while maintaining food safety, nutritional value, and suitability for human consumption is known as food processing. Several physical, chemical, and biological procedures are involved in transforming food into its final form. These procedures include harvesting, cleaning, chopping, grinding, drying, freezing, fermenting, adding oxidants and preservatives, packaging, storing, and distributing food items. These strategies reduce food waste, minimize the environmental effects, and enhance food security. To ensure people have access to safe and nutritious food and to minimize the unhealthy practices that negatively impact our environment, food processing experts must have the practical knowledge and skills to carry out these methods and techniques.
