Food Chemistry and Biotechnology

Food chemistry generally combines chemical processes and interactions of all biological and non-biological components of food. Biological substances include food such as meat, poultry, salad, beer, milk. It is as similar as biochemistry in its main components such as carbohydrates, lipids, and protein, but also includes areas such as water, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, food additives, flavors, and colors. Food biotechnology is generally the use of technology to modify the genes of food sources. Our food sources are basically animals, plants, and microorganisms. Through food biotechnology, we create new species of animals and plants, such as the animals and plants that we eat.
