Over the last 30 years, he has worked extensively as a food technologist in over twenty countries, supporting institutions that promote small-scale agro-industrial development programmes. He is a Visiting Fellow at Oxford Brookes University in the UK, and has held the UNESCO Chair in Post-Harvest Technology at Makerere University, Uganda. In addition to Food processing technology, he has written 22 books and numerous articles on different aspects of food processing.

Over the last decade, sono-activation of enzymes as an emerging research area has received considerable attention from food researchers. This kind of relatively new application of ultrasound has demonstrated promising potential in facilitating the modern food industry by broadening the application of various food enzymes, improving relevant industrial unit operation and productivity, as well as increasing the yield of target products. This review aims to provide insight into the fundamental principles and possible industrialization strategies of the sono-activation of food enzymes to facilitate its commercialization. This review first provides an overview of ultrasound application in the activation of food protease, carbohydrase, and lipase. Then, the recent development on ultrasound activation of food enzymes is discussed on aspects including mechanisms, influencing factors, modification effects, and its applications in real food systems for free and immobilized enzymes. Despite the far fewer studies on sono-activation of immobilized enzymes compared with those on free enzymes, we endeavored to summarize the relevant aspects in three stages: ultrasound pretreatment of free enzyme/carrier, assistance in immobilization process, and modification of the already immobilized enzyme. Lastly, challenges for the scalability of ultrasound in these target areas are discussed and future research prospects are proposed.

The candidate should know the composition and properties of the raw materials, as well as refer to technological processes used in the production of products in the segments meat, fish, vegetables and milk (K3). The candidate is familiar with the basic principles of preservation methods and processing techniques in food processing (K4) the candidate should have knowledge of how preservation method, packaging and logistics are related to sustainable food production (K5)

The first edition of Food processing technology was quickly adopted as the standard text by many food science and technology courses. The publication of a completely revised and updated new edition has confirmed the position of this textbook as the best single-volume introduction to food manufacturing technologies available. New chapters include computer control of processing, novel minimal technologies including processing using high pressures or pulsed electric fields, Ohmic heating and an extended chapter on modified atmosphere packaging. There are also new sample problems and illustrations.

Global food security is a challenging issue. Meeting the food and nutritional requirements of the world has become an issue for national policymakers and is of public concern. There is a need to enhance agricultural production, as well as, to reduce postharvest loss, improve the quality of processed products, and add value to products to make more quality food available. Agro-product processing technology plays a major role to reduce post-harvest losses, improve the quality of processed products, and add value to the products. It also generates employment and ultimately contributes to food security.

All operations in the receiving, inspecting, transporting, segregating, preparing, manufacturing, packaging, and storing of food shall be conducted in accordance with adequate sanitation principles. Appropriate quality control operations shall be employed to ensure that food is suitable for human consumption and that food-packaging materials are safe and suitable. Overall sanitation of the plant shall be under the supervision of one or more competent individuals assigned responsibility for this function. All reasonable precautions shall be taken to ensure that production procedures do not contribute contamination from any source. Chemical, microbial, or extraneous-material testing procedures shall be used where necessary to identify sanitation failures or possible food contamination. All food that has become contaminated to the extent that it is adulterated within the meaning of the act shall be rejected, or if permissible, treated or processed to eliminate the contamination.

"HACCP is designed for use in all segments of the food industry from growing, harvesting, processing, manufacturing, distributing, and merchandising to preparing food for consumption. Prerequisite programs such as current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) are an essential foundation for the development and implementation of successful HACCP plans. Food safety systems based on the HACCP principles have been successfully applied in food processing plants, retail food stores, and food service operations. The seven principles of HACCP have been universally accepted by government agencies, trade associations and the food industry around the world."

A different HACCP plan will be needed for each food product, each processing method and each facility if the processing raises unique or individualized risks. If Plant A is used to process Product M and Product N, and the risks associated with the products are different, the firm will need individualized risk assessments and HACCP plans for each product. If Business D manufactures Product F in two different facilities and uses different manufacturing processes that give rise to different risks, the business will need more than one HACCP plan. One HACCP plan will not "fit all" if the product or process poses different risks or needs different strategies to address the risks.

Following enactment of the Food Safety Modernization Act, a Food Safety Plan (HACCP by another name?) is required for all firms in the processing sector of the food industry that were not previously subject to HACCP. The following points are drawn from that legislation.

HACCP and a Food Safety Plan are processes that food businesses can follow to minimize the risk of unsafe food. It has evolved into the fundamental guiding principle for assessing risk associated with food processing and handling. The understanding and implementation of HACCP has been refined based on experience.

The food business is responsible for developing and implementing a Food Safety/HACCP plan for the food its processes or manufactures. A specific Food Safety/HACCP plan is needed for each food and for each processing system employed by a food business because every food and every processing system/procedure poses different risks and requires different risk management practices.

Food that is handled without a Food Safety/HACPP plan or handling the does not comply with the business' Food Safety/HACCP plan is considered adulterated and prohibited from being sold. In the past, USDA required a HACCP plan for all meat and poultry processing. Also in the past, FDA required a HACCP plan for seafood processors and juice processors. The 2010 FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, as enacted by Congress, now mandates FDA to require Food Safety plans for all other food processing. Several points:

There is consensus that the global food system is not delivering good nutrition for all and is causing environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity, such that a profound transformation is needed to meet the challenges of persistent malnutrition and rural poverty, aggravated by the growing consequences of climate change. Agroecological approaches have gained prominence in scientific, agricultural and political discourse in recent years, suggesting pathways to transform agricultural and food systems that address these issues. Here we present an extensive literature review of concepts, definitions and principles of agroecology, and their historical evolution, considering the three manifestations of agroecology as a science, a set of practices and a social movement; and relate them to the recent dialogue establishing a set of ten iconic elements of agroecology that have emerged from a global multi-stakeholder consultation and synthesis process. Based on this, a consolidated list of principles is developed and discussed in the context of presenting transition pathways to more sustainable food systems. The major outcomes of this paper are as follows. (1) Definition of 13 consolidated agroecological principles: recycling; input reduction; soil health; animal health; biodiversity; synergy; economic diversification; co-creation of knowledge; social values and diets; fairness; connectivity; land and natural resource governance; participation. (2) Confirmation that these principles are well aligned and complementary to the 10 elements of agroecology developed by FAO but articulate requirements of soil and animal health more explicitly and distinguish between biodiversity and economic diversification. (3) Clarification that application of these generic principles can generate diverse pathways for incremental and transformational change towards more sustainable farming and food systems. (4) Identification of four key entry points associated with the elements: diversity; circular and solidarity economy; co-creation and sharing of knowledge; and, responsible governance to enable plausible pathways of transformative change towards sustainable agriculture and food systems. 041b061a72
