Food Science and Categoriztation

Flashcards from lecture notes.

IFT

Institute of Food Technologists in The United States. Having this logo on our class, on our course is something which people know, which is known by people in the field, which gives you a head start right over any Food Science students from Monash, from U Sydney, from Deakin, you name it.

Food Groups/Categories

Foods come in groups (fruits, lentils, peas and beans, favaccia or pulses). There is good purpose and reason to talk about food groups and categories also from a nutrition perspective.

Food

A substance consumed to provide nutritional support for an organism.

Nutrition

How food affects the health of the body.

Metabolism

How your body generates energy from food that is ingested. The entire set of bio chemistry happening in your body in every cell at any given point in time.

Ingredient

Things that make up the food smoothie.

Development

When the R is done, you start with a D. You develop products. You find something how you can enhance salty taste, and then you develop it.

Innovation

Something where people will put money on the table and would really go for it. With innovation, you can drive an economy. Somebody would pay for the innovation.

Food Science

Core and important and key to to solve principles of problems before you talk about quantum computers and before you talk about things that that might be important and interesting, but only work if you have a healthy society.

Type three diabetes

Early onset of cognitive decline. Alzheimer's disease essentially is called, I don't know if that is a formal official term, so don't quote me on that, but type three diabetes is clearly cognitive decline and it's being used in this context

1000 days

Precisely and exactly are your second birthday, you have two times three sixty five plus nine months in utero. If you get those thousand days right in nourishing a human being, you can show in their data and it's called cognitive reserve. If you get that right, can show that you put that human being on a totally different trajectory from the beginning leading to longer life, to longer health span and better expectancy than if you don't get those one thousand days right.

FST

Food Science and Technology, this whole FST thing is used all over the place.

Food System

Typical food system with the standard items necessary in a food system where you sort of somehow use and and you see already I like terms and definitions because there's more to come.

Food Waste

30% of all food is being wasted across the value chain.

Value Chain

The view from the industry.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

Goals with an evolved understanding of adding value which are not totally measurable by in dollars, but more in terms of value to the society.

Fire

Management of fire by our ancestors which makes fire useful that started with increased food safety. We could fry foods and kill the germs. Greater energy density, brain would grow.

Music, art and language

We could satisfy our needs for food through fire better and we could then, we did not have to run around what I again just said and we could all of a sudden we had time.

Neolithic Revolution

Lifestyle is awkward because we have to nomad through the neighborhood and through the landscape. And it became much more sort of productive with view on procurement of food. It became much more productive and meaningful and useful and practical to put a fence around our animals.

Nicolas Appert

Invented the can to to store and to to transport food.

Habermosch

Two German guys, one was more the fiddling guy, the other was more the money guy and the scaling guy who came up with a process to synthesize ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen. Those guys identified a process to create ammonia which is fertilizer.

RTE

Ready to eat.

Milling

A core processing technique in powder industries

milk and honey

products or two groups that are meant to be foods. Milk is meant to be a food. Honey is meant to be a food. These products are there to be consumed by offspring.

Functional foods

Mainly a nice buzzword. It sounds good, but there is credibility to it.

Organic foods

They don't use pesticides mostly.

GMO foods

something where at least it needs to be categorized and again it needs to be labeled correctly.
