Abstract

Achieving global food security is an institutional responsibility worldwide. Achieving food security means providing adequate amounts of safe and nutritious
food for the global population. On one hand it requires production and procurement of sufficient food and on the other hand to enhance technologies to preserve them. Existing or continuing government policies and priorities often focus on improving and adaptation of farm level technologies so that the well being of the farmer is enhanced. Education programs are set in place for making such concepts sustainable. This is an adorable job and helps to reduce food losses. When large quantities of food are produced, it becomes necessary to empower the food bio-processing industries with tools to preserve the surplus and transform them into safe and nutritious products. Many food processing technologies have been developed and practiced in order to achieve this goal. Many novel processes have evolved to meet this demand as well as to produce safe and nutritious products with extended shelf-life.
