Food has been one of the three requirements of life for humans since the birth of a person. Centuries ago‚ production of food only consisted of hunting‚ harvesting and farming‚ and usually it would take a long time before these foods arrived at the dining tables of families. However‚ toady‚ technology has allowed the mass production of food. Unfortunately‚ the market has taken advantage of technology‚ not letting us know how food is made‚ leading to the birth of genetically modified Organisms (GMOs)

proteins and water are the main components in our food. However‚ if the food is left untreated‚ oxidative deterioration of the flavor and odor of fats and fatty constituents in it will be resulted. Hence‚ antioxidant are used widely in the production of food which fats and oils are used as raw materials and in the marketing of foods containing fats under modern conditions. The major factor in quality degradation of fats and fatty portions of foods is oxidation. In the oxidative deterioration of fats

The Food Stamp Act of 1964 The Food Stamp Act was created in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson. Its primary goal was to provide easy access to food for Citizens with low income‚ because there were many problems with low weight‚ anemia and osteoporosis.

April 2012 Genetically Modified Food: World Wide Panacea or “Frankenfood” to Fear? Never before in history has mankind so masterfully commanded its food chain. Thousands of years ago‚ much of our species made the leap from a hunter-gatherer level of subsistence to an agricultural society. With agriculture‚ slowly but surely many modifications were made to plants and animals used and domesticated by us for the purpose of feeding ourselves. New specialized varieties with specific desirable traits

Title Testing Kool-Aid Mix for Food Dye Additives Purpose What food dye additives go into the food products we consume and how do these additives affect our perception of that food? Hypothesis If “Black Cherry” flavored Kool-Aid Mix appears red‚ then it will contain the food dye additive Red-40 that emits a red pigment. Background Food color not only affects the appearance of food‚ it also affects our perception of how food tastes. Tests have shown that consumers will choose colored drinks over

A few pros would have to be‚ Foods can be modified to have more essential vitamins and nutrients‚ or simply taste better. By doing this‚ the increase in variety‚ and convenience for foods allows others to get their needed vitamins‚ and nutrients from just plants rather than having to buy supplements. Genetically modified foods are part of our daily diet and reassuringly enough appear to be quite healthy for us. Some would see this as a plus because everyone is looking for new ways to be healthier

domesticated animals later and then selectively bred both plants and animals to meet various requirements for human food. Humans discovered natural biological processes such as fermentation of fruits and grains to make wine and beer‚ and yeast for baking bread. Manipulation of foods is not a new story‚ therefore. The latest agricultural discovery uses genetic engineering technology to modify foods. Farmers and plant breeders have been changing crop plants to improve characteristics such as size‚ resistance
