Relationship between food science and food technology.

The dividing line between the science and the technology of food is often blurred because the latter
uses and exploits the knowledge of the former. The link between food science and technology is
well explained when considering how to solve the biggest problem in the world; how to feed
adequately the world’s rapidly expanding population.
Course lecturer: Muyoma Nato
The problems involved in determining what foods best meet the dietary needs of different
consumers, of what constitutes an adequate diet, of the nutritional merits of various new foods, of
how to store and preserve food with minimum nutritional loss; these are the province of food
science.
In order to use the above information, it must be applied; food must be grown, stored, processed,
preserved and transported on a large scale; and this is the province of food technology.
