ALPHABETICAL DIET Alphabetical diet is one in which one's take one letter diet for 26 days regularly. It starts from A and end in Z. It is basically a cooking and eating challenge and allows a variety of diet in every day life. It is not a weight loss plan. Here we discuss food and drinks available in Pakistan. LETTER 'A' APPLES Pakistan is the 10th largest apple producing country globally. The popular varities included Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, KallaKaku, Pink Lady and Red Delicious. Apples contain pectin, a natural fibre found in plants.It has a cholesterol lowering effect. Apples are low on the glycaemic index (GI) prevents diabetes. Apples are rich in polyphenols ' querctin' lower risk of hearth diseases and respiratory problems. APRICOTS The apricot's native region is Central Asia. It is a fruit with a firm exterior and a soft interior that is smaller than a peach but looks remarkably similar. Apricots are a great food for supporting eye health sinc...
EVOLUTION OF FOOD SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY
According to Harvard Univ. biological anthropologist Richard
Wrangham, food processing was launched about 2 million years ago by a distant
ancestor who discovered cooking, the original form of food processing). Later,
but still during prehistoric times, cooking was augmented by fermenting,
drying, preserving with salt, and other primitive forms of food processing,
which allowed groups and communities to form and survive. Humans thus first
learned how to cook food, then how to transform, preserve, and store it safely.
This experience-based technology led to modern food processing. Much later, the
domestication of plants and land cultivation became widespread, and at the end
of the last Ice Age, humans revolutionized eating meat by domesticating animals
for food. Thus, plant and animal agriculture also contributed to improving the
human condition.
Today, our production-to-consumption food system is complex, and our food is largely safe, tasty, nutritious, abundant, diverse, convenient, and less costly and more readily accessible than ever before. This vast food system includes agricultural production and harvesting, holding and storing of raw materials, food manufacturing (formulation, food processing, and packaging), transportation and distribution, retailing, foodservice, and food preparation in the home.
The impact of modern food manufacturing methods is evident in today’s food supply. Food quality can be maintained or even improved, and food safety can be enhanced. Sensitive nutrients can be preserved, important vitamins and minerals can be added, toxins and “antinutrients” (substances such as phytate that limit bioavailability of nutrients) can be removed, and foods can be designed to optimize health and reduce the risk of disease.
ADVANCEMENT
IN FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
As the headway the innovation is expanding, the customer have begun utilizing handled nourishment more than the staples. Recent advances in food processing and Technology is not only important to meet the increasing productivity demands but to adopt refined automation, control and monitoring methods and techniques.
Drying, canning, chemical preservation, refrigeration (including chilling and freezing), and nutrient conservation and fortification were the significant advances of the 19th and 20th centuries and permitted population growth in more developed countries.
Advances in agriculture and food science and technology have led to reduction in nutrient deficiency-related diseases. A generally safe food supply with consistent high quality available independent of seasons.
