Welcome to the exciting world of food engineering! Have you ever wondered how your favorite snacks, drinks, and meals are made? Well, food engineering is the field that answers these questions. Food engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines sciences such as chemistry, physics, and biology to design and develop innovative and safe food products.
To kick off our lesson, let's do a mystery snack icebreaker activity. In front of you is a bowl filled with an unknown snack. You will have to use your senses of smell, taste, and touch to guess what the snack is. Once you have guessed the snack, we will discuss the ingredients and the engineering process that went into making it.
Now that we have had a fun start, let's get to the meat of the lesson. Food engineering is the application of engineering principles to food processes. Food engineers design and develop equipment, processes, and packaging for the production and distribution of food products. They also work to improve the safety, quality, and nutritional value of food products.
Why is food engineering important? Well, food engineers play a crucial role in ensuring that the food we consume is safe and healthy. They develop technologies for the production of mass food products to feed millions of people worldwide. Food engineering is also a vital component in reducing food waste and increasing food sustainability.
In conclusion, food engineering is an integral part of the food industry. It involves the use of science and technology to create innovative and safe food products. Food engineers play a critical role in ensuring that food is safe, nutritious, and available to everyone. Now that you have an introduction to food engineering let's dive deeper into the subject.
