Food technology is one of the sub-division of food science which deals with the production procedures that make foods. It is a science which covenants with the methods and principles involved in processing and preserving the food substances. The study of food technology is to advance new methods and systems for keeping food products safe and unaffected from natural harms such as bacteria and other micro-organisms.

Food Microbiology is the scientific study of microorganisms that are used both in food and for food production. This includes those microorganisms that contaminate food, as well as those which are used in its production; for example, production of yogurt, cheese, beer and wine. It is the study of the microorganisms that inhibit, create, or contaminate food, including the study of micro organisms causing food spoilage, pathogens that may cause disease especially if food is improperly cooked or stored; they are used to produce fermented foods such as cheese, yogurt, bread, beer, and wine, and those with other useful roles such as manufacturing of probiotics.

Food Chemistry is the study of chemical processes and interactions of all biological and non-biological components of foods. Examples of biological substances are meat, poultry, lettuce, beer, and milk. It is similar to biochemistry in its main components such as carbohydrates, lipids, and protein, but it also includes areas such as water, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, food additives, flavour, and colors. This discipline also includes how products get modified under certain food processing techniques and methods either to enhance or to prevent them from happening.

Nutrition can be explained the derivative that our body absorbs or gets from the food that we consume , it would be really a prominent change to increase the nutrient content of food without having to increase the quantity , we can alter the nutritional content of each food component by modifying them genetically , this study helps in increasing the quantity of availability of food and also in providing individuals with adequate amount of nutrition which in turn results in growth and development

Food safety refers to controlling the presence of those hazards whether chronic or acute, that may make food harmful to the health of the consumer. Food safety is about producing, handling, storing and preparing food in such a way as to preclude infection and contamination in the food production chain, and to help ensure that food quality and goodness are sustained to stimulate good health. Food hygiene is the conditions and measures necessary to certify the safety of food from production to consumption. Lack of adequate food hygiene can lead to food-borne diseases and can cause the death of the consumer. The objective of food hygiene is to make and deliver safe food and consequently contribute to a healthy and productive society.

Food toxicology deals with how natural or synthetic poisons and toxicants in various food products cause harmful, detrimental, or adverse side effects in living organisms. Food Toxicology shields with various aspects of food safety and toxicology, including the study of the nature, properties, effects, and detection of toxic substances in food and their disease manifestations in humans. It will also include other phases of consumer product safety. Radioactive components, heavy metals, or the packaging materials used in food processing are examples of such substances. A food toxicologist studies toxicants in food, the health effects of high nutrient intakes, and the connection between toxicants and nutrients.

Food-borne illness or food-borne disease or food poisoning is any illness resulting from the food spoilage of contaminated food, pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites that contaminate food. Food-borne illnesses are infections or irascibilities of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract triggered by food or beverages that contain destructive bacteria, parasites, viruses, or chemicals. The GI tract is a sequence of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. Common symptoms of food-borne illnesses are vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fever, and chills.

As the financial prudence of many countries is increasing, the customers have started using processed food more than staples. As a matter of fact, worldwide food processing technology business has extended to multi-trillion dollars. It was reported that around, 16 million people work in the food industry. Recent improvements in food processing and technology are not only important to meet the increasing productivity demands but to adopt erudite automation, control and monitoring methods and techniques.

A Nutraceutical is a food or food component that petition to have health benefits, including treatment and prevention of disease. Nutraceuticals are those products apart from nutrition they are also used as medicine. A nutraceutical product may be defined as a constituent, which has a physiological benefit and also provides protection against chronic disease. Nutraceuticals may be used to progress health, delay the aging process, preclude chronic diseases, increase life expectancy, or support the structure or function of the body. Nutritional supplements are any dietary supplement that is projected to provide nutrients that may otherwise not be consumed in adequate quantities; for example, vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids or other nutritional substances. Products are usually ingested in the form of a capsule, tablet or liquid.

Seafood is fish and material produced from fish, comprising finfish, crustaceans, cephalopods, echinoderms, molluscs and gastropods. The term seafood processing refers to the procedures associated with fish and fish products between the time fish are caught or harvested, and the time the final food is delivered to the customer. Although the term refers precisely to fish, but actually it is extended to cover any aquatic organisms harvested for marketable purposes, whether caught in wild fisheries or harvested from aquaculture or fish farming.

Enology is the study of wine and wine-making.The new facility allows us to expand our experimental wine-making program to test new grape varieties and wine-making practices. It permits us to scale up our experiments to industrial production volumes. An enologist is one that practices the field of enology, and often understands the scientific principles associated with wine-making, including desirable characteristics associated with the grape itself.

Food plays a significant role in regulating the numerous processes within the body. With the constant advancement of the “omics” eon, bioinformatics curates and infers biological data by computational means and therefore it has seen extensive integration across every discipline of life sciences including food sciences. Bioinformatics can be used for competently access to all genomics, proteomics and metabolomics data discovered so far and to make accessible this data to every individual group industry or company so as to rise quality, taste and nutritional value of food that is to be manufactured.

Food security ensues when all people are able to access sufficient safe and nourishing food to meet their requirements for a healthy life, in ways the planet can withstand into the future. However, food security faces a number of tasks across both manufacture and ingestion which research will be essential to solve.

Flavour chemistry is a scientific discipline that is used to determine the individual compounds that are responsible for the characteristic flavour found in foods and beverages. Flavour chemistry can be used to identify both positive and negative compounds associated with specific sensory attributes. Using multivariate statistical techniques, flavour chemistry can also be linked with descriptive sensory evaluation to identify the compounds directly responsible for sensory perception. The more information is available on a product, the better likelihood that key relationships that directly and indirectly impact on the formation of key flavour compounds can be explained. 

Meat is a unique biological material with a central significance in nutrition and health. Meat Science and Processing Technology amalgamate the expertise of meat scientists and food Engineers in a holistic approach toward the processing of meat. The meat industry endeavors to supply consistent high quality and safe meat products.
