Food technology
''Food Tech''|the magazine|Food Technology (magazine)''Food Technology'' (magazine)}}Food technology is a branch of food science that addresses the production, preservation, quality control and research and development of food products.
It may also be understood as the science of ensuring that a society is food secure and has access to safe food that meets quality standards.
Early scientific research into food technology concentrated on food preservation. Nicolas Appert's development in 1810 of the canning process was a decisive event. The process wasn't called canning then and Appert did not really know the principle on which his process worked, but canning has had a major impact on food preservation techniques.
Louis Pasteur's research on the spoilage of wine and his description of how to avoid spoilage in 1864, was an early attempt to apply scientific knowledge to food handling. Besides research into wine spoilage, Pasteur researched the production of alcohol, vinegar, wines and beer, and the souring of milk. He developed pasteurization – the process of heating milk and milk products to destroy food spoilage and disease-producing organisms. In his research into food technology, Pasteur became the pioneer into bacteriology and of modern preventive medicine. Provided by Wikipedia
