The Scientific Side of Food
Science – the study of the physical world at all levels
Technology – the practical application of scientific knowledge
Food Science – scientific study of food and its preparation

Expanding the Food Supply
Food production – › It is quicker and more efficient now to
produce food with newer equipment. Tracters, GPS, fertilizers, pesticides,
irrigation, immunizations Food processing –
› New food choices› Packaging› Transportation

New Food Choices
Manufactured food – a product developed as a substitute for another food.› Analogs – foods made to imitate actual
foods› Formed Products – foods made from an
inexpensive source and processed to imitate a more expensive food
› Egg Substitutes – made from egg white and other ingredients

Packaging
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)– mixture of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen is inserted into the package before sealing to slow bacterial growth
Aseptic packages – consist of layers of plastic, paperboard, and aluminum foil
Retort pouches – flexible packages also made of aluminum foil and plastic film

Transportation
Transportation and packaging combine to bring you food from around the world
We can eat fresh food from different parts of the world that we would normally not be able to eat in certain climates

Genetic Engineering
Genes are removed from one organism, such as a plant, animal, or microorganism, and transferred to another one
![Page 10: Relate technological advances to their impact on food production and availability Compare the potential positive impacts of genetically modified foods.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081807/5697bf881a28abf838c898ab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Genetic Engineering Advantages
Larger food supply Improved nutrition Greater resistance to spoilage Reduced use of pesticides New and better varieties of food
![Page 11: Relate technological advances to their impact on food production and availability Compare the potential positive impacts of genetically modified foods.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081807/5697bf881a28abf838c898ab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Genetic Engineering Disadvantages
Possible health problems, such as allergic reactions
Potential threat to the environment and food supply
Creation of super weeds that resist herbicides
Inability of developing countries to buy the very expensive seeds
![Page 12: Relate technological advances to their impact on food production and availability Compare the potential positive impacts of genetically modified foods.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081807/5697bf881a28abf838c898ab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cloning
Clone – genetic copy of an organism
Could prevent hunger as populations increase
Could destroy the biodiversity of an animal

Better Nutrition in Foods
Enrichment – restores nutrients that were lost in processing to near original levels
Fortification – adds a nutrient that is not normally found in a food
![Page 14: Relate technological advances to their impact on food production and availability Compare the potential positive impacts of genetically modified foods.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081807/5697bf881a28abf838c898ab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Functional Foods
Functional Foods – provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition.› Natural whole foods – grapes, broccoli, salmon,
garlic, oats› Enhanced foods – a cereal with added fiber› New food products – scientists continue to
develop new foods with particular health benefits. Example – margarine that lowers cholesterol.
› Food created by science – scientists create foods with special functions – tomato that lowers risk of cancer

Nutritional Research
Research has found 40 nutrients and hundreds of chemical compounds, all essential to good health

Ergonomics
Ergonomics – study of ways to make space and equipment easier and more comfortable to use
![Page 17: Relate technological advances to their impact on food production and availability Compare the potential positive impacts of genetically modified foods.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081807/5697bf881a28abf838c898ab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
