LE 1 - Contributions of Chemical Engineering in Food and Fisheries Flashcards
series of industrial activities directed at the processing, conversion, preparation, preservation and packaging of foodstuffs
Food Industry
Uses raw materials from vegetable or animal origin
Food Industry
it pertains to the supply, consumption, and catering of food products and services
Food Industry
Food Industry includes:
- Agriculture activities
- Food processing of fresh products into canned and packed goods
- Research and development on food technology
- Manufacturing fertilizers, farm machinery and hybrid seeds
- Financial services
- Marketing, packaging, advertising and distribution
Three Principal Industry Sectors
- Commercial sector
- Traditional sector
- Recreational sector
wild-catch or aquaculture resources transforming it into products for sale
Commercial sector
purpose of recreation, sport or sustenance with fisheries resources
Recreational sector
Fisheries resources from which aboriginal people derive products in accordance with their traditions
Traditional sector
World harvest in 2005
48.1 million tons - produced by fish farms
93.3 million tons - commercial fishing
1.3 million tons - aquatic plants
14.8 million tons - produced by aquaculture
0.97-2.7 trillion per year - number of individual fish caught in the wild
ASEAN
850,959 tonnes
method used to produce food and other commercial products, restore habitat and replenish wild stocks, and rebuild populations of threatened and endangered species
Aquaculture
breeding,rearing, andharvestingof fish, shellfish, plants, algae and other organisms in all types of water environments
Aquaculture
farming in water
Aquaculture
Two main types of aquaculture
Marine
Freshwater
Takes place in the ocean or seas
marine
Takes place in streams, rivers, lakes
Freshwater
Enhances food production
Chemical Engineers
discovery of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides that protect and enhance fruit and vegetable growth
Chemical Engineers
conceive, design, test, and scale up revolutionary food-processing techniques
Chemical Engineers
new sterilization techniques that protect food against spoilage and people against food-borne illnesses
Chemical Engineers
creating new products and flavor combinations
Food Technologist
Innovators of all things edible
Food Technologist
learning how to process foods to reduce food and energy waste
Food Technologist
Tasked to design new food products and the techniques needed to make them
Food Technologist
work on even more advanced techniques for ____________, ________________, and _____________ the ingredients in the foods we eat
purifying, sterilizing, and modifying
Food purification during processing is essential to remove contaminants such as
○ salts
○ metals
○ bacteria
○ fungi
○ pathogens
have now become the purification methods
Membrane-based separation systems
is used to kill microorganisms without sacrificing food quality, appearance, or nutritional value.
Irradiation
are investigating various avenues to make the aquaculture industry more sustainable
Chemical Engineers
Ensures an entire aquatic species farming operation functions as it should
Chemical Engineers
keep systems running as they should or improve them to maximize efficiencies
