Food and Science

While watching a video about a food scientist at NASA, i noticed a few videos about food and science. These are videos about lectures at Harvard University and i found them interesting. I only saw two hours of these videos, but i'll check the rest out another time.

Michele Perchonok: Food Scientist at NASA

http://www.ift.org/Knowledge-Center/Learn-About-Food-Science/Day-In-The-Life/Michele-Perchonok.aspx

Michelle is a food scientist at NASA and this upcoming award winning video is all about her and her profession: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wAC-ST77Ow

Sustainability

http://www.ift.org/Knowledge-Center/Learn-About-Food-Science/World-Without-Food-Science/Sustainability.aspx

In a world without food science, much of the food produced would be lost to spoilage and waste. Food scientists work to conserve resources during the entire chain of production. They make sure land and water are conserved and protected as a crop is grown and as a food product is made. They create packaging that is reduced, recycled and reusable to minimize waste. They place food production plants in areas where food can be transported and distributed efficiently.

Here's a video:

World Without Food Science


World Without Food Science™ is a public education campaign created by the Institute of Food Technologists to generate awareness of the role that food science plays in ensuring a nutritious, safe and abundant food supply.
This awareness initiative is designed to help the public understand where their food comes from so they can make informed decisions about the food they eat every day. As part of this effort, IFT provides practical consumer tips at www.iftfoodfacts.org.


History of Food Science


Nurtured by the Institute of Food Technologists, food science and technology has evolved over many decades into a multidisciplinary field that has been instrumental in the development of a safe, affordable, and abundant food supply. Learn how our food science profession has advanced the science of food and benefitted humankind through three historic publications:
A Century of Food Science 
Booklet published in 2000 covering developments in food technology and the food industry.
Food Technology magazine’s 50th Anniversary 
Article on the 50th anniversary of Food Technology magazine (1997).
IFT's 50th Anniversary Issue 
Complete September 1989 issue with a variety of food technology review and history articles.

What Is Food Science & Technology?

http://www.ift.org/knowledge-center/learn-about-food-science/what-is-food-science.aspx


Food Science

Food science draws from many disciplines such as biology, chemical engineering, and biochemistry in an attempt to better understand food processes and ultimately improve food products for the general public. As the stewards of the field, food scientists study the physical, microbiological, and chemical makeup of food. By applying their findings, they are responsible for developing the safe, nutritious foods and innovative packaging that line supermarket shelves everywhere.

Food Technology

The food you consume on a daily basis is the result of extensive food research, a systematic investigation into a variety of foods’ properties and compositions. After the initial stages of research and development comes the mass production of food products using principles of food technology. All of these interrelated fields contribute to the food industry – the largest manufacturing industry in the United States.
