The food industry is a complex, worldwide group of diverse businesses that supplies most of the food consumed by the world's population. The food Industry incorporates. Food technology is a sub discipline of food science that deals with the production, Preservation & processes that make foods

Biotechnology is any technique which utilizes living organisms to make products, to improve plants or animals, or to develop microbes for specific uses. This definition covers the traditional procedures of animal husbandry, plant breeding and fermentation 

• Food Manufacturing: agrichemicals, agricultural construction, farm machinery and supplies, seed

• Wholesale and food distribution

• Foodservice

• Food Technology

Track 2: Food Science and Nutrition

Food Science blends food microbiology, chemistry, physics, engineering and nutrition, therefore, the application of data so gained to the event of food product and processes, the preservation and storage of foods, and therefore the assurance of food safety and quality. It is a basic process of how heat, water, acid, and base change our foods.

•  Macronutrients

•  Micronutrients

Track 3: Prebiotic nutrients

Prebiotics are a group of nutrients that are degraded by gut micro biota. Their relationship with human overall health has been an area of increasing interest in recent years. They can feed the intestinal microbiota, and their degradation products are short-chain fatty acids that are released into blood circulation, consequently, affecting not only the gastrointestinal tracts but also other distant organs. Fructo-oligosaccharides and galacto-oligosaccharides are the two important groups of prebiotics with beneficial effects on human health..        

Track 4: Probiotics nutrients

Probiotics are live microorganisms promoted with claims that they provide health benefits when consumed, generally by improving or restoring the gut flora. Probiotics are considered generally safe to consume, but may cause bacteria-host interactions and unwanted side effects in rare cases. There is little evidence that probiotics bring the health benefits claimed for them.

• Food irradiation

• Categories of Food toxicity

• Food Science & Cardiac Care

Track 8: Food Microbiology

Food microbiology is a branch of Food Science to study of the pathogens that inhibit, contaminating food and microorganisms that may cause disease especially if food is inappropriately cooked or stored, those used to produce fermented beverages & foods such as cheese, yogurt, bread, beer, and wine, and those with other useful roles such as producing probiotics.

Fermentation is one of the techniques to preserve food and enhance its quality. Fermented food product is less affable to other harmful microorganisms, including spoilage-causing microorganisms & pathogens thus extending the food's shelf-life.

•  Food Safety and Hygiene

•  Food-borne Diseases

•  Food irradiation

•  Categories of Food toxicity

Track 9: Importance of Food Nutrition

The risk factors for fatal diseases, like type 2 diabetes and hypertension, are increasingly seen in younger ages, often a result of unhealthy eating habits and increased weight gain. Dietary habits built up in childhood regularly convey into adulthood, so teaching children how to eat healthy at a young age will help them stay healthy throughout their life.

•  Nutritional Deficiencies

•  Weight gain

• High blood pressure

Track 10: Food Supplements

Dietary supplements may also contain substances that have not been confirmed as being essential to life, but are marketed as having a beneficial biological effect, such as plant pigments or polyphenols. Animals may also be a supply of supplement ingredients, as for example collagen from chickens or fish. These are also sold individually and in combination and may be combined with nutrient ingredients. In the United States and North American Nation, dietary supplements are considered a subset of foods, and are regulated accordingly. The European Commission has also established harmonized rules that help to insure that food supplements are safe and properly labeled.

Other aspects dealt in this track include:

•  Adulterants in Food

•  Herbal Supplements

•  Regulatory Compliance

•  Adverse effects

Track 11: Management of Food Waste

Recycling of food and organic waste is an innovative idea that can produce both economic and environmental savings. This naturally productive, budget-friendly, environmental friendly disposal from food waste management can benefit your company, your community and the environment.

•  Fruits and vegetables

•  Meat, poultry, seafood

•  Bakery items and ingredients

•  Plants, cut flowers, potting soil

•  Coffee grounds, filters, tea bags

•  Paper products (napkins, paper towels)

Track 12: Food Poisoning

Food poisoning, also called foodborne illness, is illness caused by eating contaminated food. Infectious organisms — including bacteria, viruses and parasites — or their toxins are the most common causes of food poisoning. Infectious organisms or their toxins can contaminate food at any point of processing or production. Contamination can also occur at home if food is incorrectly handled or cooked.

• Contaminants

•  Tests to diagnose food poisoning

Track 13: Malnutrition Diseases

Malnutrition is a condition that results from eating a diet in which nutrients are either not enough or are too much such that the diet causes health problems. It may involve calories, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins or minerals. Not enough nutrients is called under nutrition or undernourishment while too much is called over nutrition.

•  Malnutrition and treatment

•  Undernutrition

•  Overnutrition.

Track 14: Food Safety Laws and Regulations

Generally “food law” is used to apply to legislation which regulates the production, trade and handling of food and hence covers the regulation of food control, food safety and relevant aspects of nourishment exchange. Least quality prerequisites are incorporated into the nourishment law to guarantee the sustenance delivered are unadulterated and are not subjected to any false practices expected to cheat the customer. Sustenance law should cover the aggregate chain starting with arrangements for creature sustain, on-cultivate controls and early handling through to definite conveyance and use by the shopper.

•   Food Contaminants

•   Good Food Safety Practices

•   Food Quality Control in Food Industry

Track 16: Food Preservation

Food preservation includes processes that inhibit visual deterioration, such as the enzymatic browning reaction in apples after they are cut during food preparation. Maintaining or creating nutritional value, texture and flavor is very important facet of food preservation

• Many processes designed to preserve food involve more than one food preservation method like:

•  Traditional techniques

•  Pasteurization

•  Fermentation

Track 17: Food Safety and Management

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.

Track 21: Paediatric Nutrition

Pediatric nourishment is the maintenance of a particular well-balanced diet consisting of the essential nutrients and the sufficient caloric intake necessary to promote growth and sustain the physiological requirements at the various stages of a child's development

Track 22: Nutritional Value & Quality of Foods

The customer ought to be very much aware of the quality of the food. In this way, the food substances contain  nutritional values, prepared in accurately, tasting good, don’t have  toxic substances and pathogens,  unwanted mix-up, fulfill requirements of health, attractive, and provides energy to carry out life and day to day activity is known as quality food.  To put it plainly, we also say that  the food substances acknowledged by government guidelines and satisfying the essential prerequisites of the individual wellbeing might be named the quality food.

Track 23: Altered Diet and Responses on Human Health

Dietary transitions in human records were suggested to play essential roles within the evolution of the human race. The main purpose of public health intervention is to boost health and prevent diseases but the problems of changing food habits result in both positive and negative impacts on human health. The diet of an individual is determined by the process, the supply, and taste property of foods. A healthy diet includes storage ways and preparation of food that may preserve nutrients from oxidation, heat or natural process. Research in nutrition terms may make it easier for us to make better food choices and keeps us healthy. Contemporary dietary patterns have led to acceptable results like increased nutritional efficiency, decreased the risk of allergies and also diseases like prevention of hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic diseases. It may give negative results such as causing skin irritation, difficulty in breathing, headaches, cancer due to pesticides; obesity, food poisoning, diabetes, dental problems, high blood pressure and depression due to processed foods; and arthritis, meningitis, inflammation of joints and ciguatera from fisheries.

•  Nutrient Deficiencies

Technavio’s studies analyst calculates the fitness supplement market in Malaysia to upward thrust at a CAGR of 8% throughout the projection length.

A Glance at Market of Nutrition and Food:

Throughout the last ten to fifteen years, deals in the worldwide Nutrition supplements market have seen a phenomenal spike. This has empowered various new players to venture into the business sector with items that guarantee to be the remedy for youth, wellbeing, and essentialness. As indicated by the appraisals of the Nutrition Business Journal report, the worldwide Nutrition and supplements market remained at US$96 billion starting 2012. After a year, it was around US$104 billion all inclusive.

Nutrition Supplements Market:

The global nutrition supplements market size was valued at USD 133.1 billion in 2016 and is expected to accelerate at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2016 to 2024. This impact is due to the rising awareness towards weight management among working professionals because of extensive brand campaigns by nutritional product manufacturers.

Nutritional supplements are majorly consumed with an intention to enhance the intake of essential nutritional elements in the human body. Increased cardiovascular disorders among the populations because of fluctuating diet patterns and inactive lifestyle among the age-group of 30-40 are expected to promote the importance of nutraceuticals.

Global Malnutrition Analysis:

Nearly half of all deaths in children under 5 are related to malnutrition, translating into the loss of about 3 million children per year. Malnutrition puts children at higher risk of dying from common infections, increases the frequency and severity of such infections, and delays recovery.

The interaction between under nutrition and infectious diseases can create a potentially lethal cycle of worsening illness and declining nutritional status. Poor nutrition in the first 1,000 days of a child’s life can lead to stunted growth, which in turn is associated with impaired cognitive ability and reduced performance in school and work.

We are still to achieve a world without malnutrition. The joint malnutrition (2018 edition) estimates show that stunting prevalence has been declining since the year 2000, nearly one in four. 151 million children under the age of 5 were stunted in 2017, and 51 million children suffered from wasting.  Meanwhile, the number of overweight children in the world has remained constant for more than a decade.

Measures of child Malnutrition are used to track development progress. In the Post-2015 Development Era, estimates of child malnutrition will help to determine whether the world is on a track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals – particularly to “end hunger, achieve food safety and improved health, and promote sustainable agriculture”.
