Food Biotechnology: Harnessing Innovation to Address Global Challenges in Food Production
Keywords:
- Global, food production, food waste, food biotechnology, techniquesAbstract
Food biotechnology is a rapidly advancing and interdisciplinary field that leverages scientific principles, genetic engineering, and biotechnological tools to revolutionize the food industry. In response to the mounting challenges posed by population growth, climate change, and food insecurity, food biotechnology offers innovative solutions to enhance crop resilience, nutritional value, and overall yield, thus fostering global food security. This comprehensive review article provides an in-depth analysis of the various applications of food biotechnology, including the genetic modification of crops to develop disease-resistant and climate-resilient varieties. It explores the vital role of microbial biotechnology in food production through fermentation processes, probiotics, and novel ingredients that promote human health. Additionally, the article delves into the cutting-edge field of nutrigenomics, elucidating how personalized nutrition based on genetic profiles can optimize human well-being. Moreover, food biotechnology's significant impact on food safety is discussed, encompassing the detection and control of foodborne pathogens, ensuring the delivery of safe and healthy food to consumers. The article further investigates how nanotechnology is revolutionizing food processing, packaging, and preservation, fostering longer shelf life and minimizing food waste.
