Food processing and preservation.

Abstract

The work FOOD PROCESSING AND PRESERVATION materializes the effort of a research team with a goal of promoting a change in food systems, to stimulate regenerative ones, through the production of safe food. The disruption of various sectors, including the economic sector, caused by COVID19 has highlighted the need to rebuild more resilient food systems, and all this involves building a food system that restores natural resources instead of depleting them. In addition, it is necessary to emphasize population growth and the demand for animal and plant growth will require efficiency and changes in food production sectors and Brazil has the potential to promote food and nutritional security for its population. For this to happen, technological innovation and committed research are needed, which in recent years have intensified products through their own science in the development of the use of efficient nutritional matrices. I highlight the importance of family members who already adopt these new regenerative practices and are essential. In each chapter we observe the use of emerging techniques, green chemistry and the efficiency of the mathematical models used. The choice of strategic food matrices with nutritional value such as passion fruit, soursop and pumpkin seeds, banana peels, jackfruit berries, kale, sapodilla pulp, black rice and okra were important, as well as byproducts of the agroindustry peels, stalks, seeds that are easily integrated into the development of new foods, additives and ingredients. All the versatility of this new research team, in the choice of techniques and raw techniques and its industrial potential in development. This is an excellent instrument for applying work increasingly to an innovative potential in the world.
