Abstract
Food Additives and Food Processing Aids: The Role, Function And Future Research Need of Industrial Food Biotechnology
Highlights
The role of industrial food biotechnology in food industry has a wide range of technologies that are being used for food processing in several countries in the world especially in developing countries
Food processing aid as a substance that is used for a technical effect during food processing or manufacture/facilitating the production process but, unlike food additives, its use does not affect the intrinsic characteristics of the food and it results in no Melaku Tafese Awulachew
Food additives are substances that are intentionally added to food either during the production process or at packaging with the purpose to increase food safety and durability, to improve or restore food organoleptic characteristics and attractiveness and, in some cases, to improve the technological performance during the transformation process
Summary
The role of industrial food biotechnology in food industry has a wide range of technologies that are being used for food processing in several countries in the world especially in developing countries. Research into the effect of colours and preservatives in foods on children's behaviour has added fuel to the fire of negative consumer perception of these additives, in products aimed at this age group. Microbial products other than enzymes are used as flavours, sweeteners, thickeners and acidulants Those several role food industrial biotechnologies for food Processing aids includes, the roles of enzymes in preparation of bakery products; production of cheese and enzyme-modified cheese; whey modifications; meat tenderization; interesterification of oils and fats; natural food-preservation systems; the production of invert sugar; and the biotechnological production of organic acids; and the biotechnological production of flavours. Food industry is constantly seeking advanced technologies to meet the demand of the consumers, and enzymes have long been used by the industrial product makers as major tools to transform the raw materials into end-products Their clean label (generally recognized as safe) consideration from the legal point of view has prompted their extensive use in food technology. The significant impact that biotechnology can have on the production of a food ingredient is exemplified by the development of high-fructose corn syrup technology
