  When the body does not receive enough nutrients , such as vitamins and minerals , nutritional deficiency occurs. Anemia, for example, is one of the disorders induced by nutritional deficiencies. Vitamins are necessary for the body to keep healthy and perform correctly. Supplements such as multivitamins and minerals are widely used. Diseases can be caused by nutrient shortages. "Deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D, for example, can lead to osteopenia or osteoporosis, both of which are characterised by brittle bones," explains Kate Patton, RD, a dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. "Anemia, which saps your energy, might be caused by a lack of iron." Protein Energy Malnutrition, Scurvy, Rickets, Beriberi, Hypocalcemia, Osteomalacia, Vitamin K Deficiency, Pellagra, Xerophthalmia, and Iron Deficiency are only a few examples. Our bodies get the "information" and elements they need to function effectively from the food we eat. Our metabolic systems...

Food Technology teaches students how to use technology to develop and process food materials so that they can become goods with high use and even better resale value. Food materials, on the other hand, will have a high nutritional value and be safe to eat. The application of food science to the selection, preservation, processing, packaging, distribution, and usage of safe food is known as food technology. Analytical chemistry, biotechnology , engineering, nutrition, quality control, and food safety management are all related fields. Food Technology is currently in the spotlight due to its growing popularity. It's because food technology has been shown to be a very valuable science, and Indonesia is a country with a lot of food resources.

  Any procedure for converting fresh foods into food items is referred to as food processing. This can include a variety of operations such as washing, cutting, pasteurising, freezing, fermenting, packaging, cooking, and many others. Adding substances to food, for example, to improve shelf life, is also part of food processing. Traditional and modern methods of food processing include heat treatment, fermentation, pickling, smoking, drying, and curing (pasteurisation, ultra-heat treatment, high pressure processing, or modified atmosphere packaging).Some of the common methods are described below: Canning: The dish has been cooked at a high temperature. Pasteurization is the term for this process. The meal is then packaged and kept in an airtight can. Check our infographic showing the processing steps for canned tomatoes. Fermentation: Under anaerobic circumstances, bacteria, yeasts, and other microorganisms break down carbohydrates. This means that no oxygen is required for the pr...
