Discussion

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the food industry had emerged from a two-tier structure, with a small number of global industrial giant organizations that had a control on a broad range of famous brands of food along with a broad array of small sized domestic food companies The food industry was changed by the intervention of advanced technology. Computerized systems of control, sophisticated methods and process of packaging and development in logistics and distribution processes have improved the quality of product further and it has also enhanced the food safety and reduced the cost (Baldwin, 213-220).

Historical and scientific classification of food industry

The industrial production of food has become such in other areas of the corresponding branches of the food craft developed. Even today, a distinction is there rarely on the production process as the number of employees between artisanal and industrial companies.

In the trades, the membership is usually directed by the membership of guilds, chambers, etc. but not according to farm size. In the type of craft organizations so it can be major craft (Nestle, pp. 1-7).

In addition to process development of production in the last decades also played biotechnical innovation an important role (for example in the production of synthetic Lab) for the technological process of food production, with the food technology within the process engineering its own interdisciplinary higher education and research developed with specific career opportunities within one of the four major industry sectors (Baldwin, 213-220).

The study of the interaction between nutrition, food quality and health is in the nutritional sciences, increasingly by nutritional medicine. Special regard should these disciplines in the evaluation of industrially produced foods besides nutritional characteristics on health-related aspects, such as allergy -risk and the relationship of diet to their life-style. This area is also from a sociological perspective in the context of nutritional sociology examined (Baldwin, pp. 3-15).
