6. Importance of Food Processing to Society - Food security: Food processing helps in the preservation and distribution of food, ensuring a steady supply throughout the year. - Nutrition: Processing techniques can enhance the availability and bioavailability of nutrients, improving the nutritional quality of food. - Food safety: Proper processing methods eliminate harmful microorganisms and toxins, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses. - Convenience and variety: Food processing provides consumers with a wide range of convenient and ready-to-eat food options.

7. Contributions of Food Processing to Society - Reducing food waste: Processing techniques extend the shelf life of food, reducing spoilage and minimizing food waste. - Employment opportunities: The food processing industry creates numerous job opportunities, contributing to economic growth and development. - Economic value: Processed food products have higher value and can be exported, creating revenue and boosting the economy. - Sustainable agriculture: Food processing promotes the efficient utilization of agricultural resources and reduces post-harvest losses.

8. From A Family Business To An Enterprise For Filipino Families CDO Food Products, Inc. began as a mom-and-pop shop on June 25, 1975, when dietitian Corazon Dayro -Ong started selling homemade meat products from her family’s residence in Valenzuela. With a modest loan from a rural bank and a simple dream, she and her husband turned their lot into a meat processing plant. In 1981, they changed the business name to Foodsphere Inc., with CDO as the flagship brand for its wide range of meat products. About a decade later, the company bought a patch of land and built its first modern factory. Growing the company came with many challenges, including a fire in their factory and a financial crisis in the 1990s. But “we survived every crisis as a family,” shares Corazon, referring to the employees of Foodsphere as well. With the Ong children taking their places in the family business, the company steadily rose to become a market leader in the food industry. Foodsphere’s plants in Valenzuela and in Batangas now produce food brands that have become Filipino household favorites: CDO Karne Norte, Funtastyk Young Pork Tocino, San Marino Corned Tuna, Idol Cheesedog , CDO Premium Holiday Ham, and Danes Cheese. From a homemaker’s dream of providing good food for her family, Foodsphere has grown to an enterprise that provides quality products to millions of Filipino families and helps uplift the Philippine economy. But Corazon continues to guide the company as she has done from the beginning: With the knowledge and expertise of a dietitian who constantly creates nutritious, quality, and affordable food for the Filipino; and with the heart of a mother who gathers families round the table, with food that makes mealtime more delicious and more meaningful.

10. Definition of Food Processing Food processing refers to any deliberate change or transformation of raw food materials into a form suitable for consumption. It involves various techniques, technologies, and methods to preserve, improve, and enhance the quality, safety, and shelf life of food products.

11. Objectives of Food Processing Enhancing food safety: Food processing methods aim to eliminate or reduce harmful microorganisms, toxins, and contaminants. Improving food quality: Food processing techniques enhance the taste, texture, appearance, and nutritional value of food. Extending shelf life: Proper processing helps to prolong the storage life of food products.

12. Importance of Food Processing Preservation: Food processing techniques such as canning, freezing, and drying help to preserve perishable foods and prevent spoilage. Convenience: Food processing offers ready-to-eat or easy-to-prepare food options, saving time and effort. Nutrition: Certain food processing methods can improve the availability and bioavailability of nutrients in food. Safety: Processing techniques like pasteurization and sterilization help to destroy harmful microorganisms and ensure food safety.

13. Common Food Processing Techniques Heating and thermal processing: Includes methods like cooking, pasteurization, sterilization, and blanching. Drying and dehydration: Involves the removal of moisture from food to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life. Canning and bottling: Sealing food products in airtight containers to maintain freshness and prevent contamination. Freezing: The process of lowering the temperature of food below freezing to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Fermentation: The controlled breakdown of complex organic substances, resulting in changes to the taste, aroma, and texture of food

14. Food Processing Examples Baking: Involves the application of heat in an oven to transform dough into bread, cookies, cakes, etc. Dairy Processing: Includes processes like pasteurization, homogenization, and fermentation to produce milk, cheese, yogurt, etc. Meat Processing: Techniques involved in meat preservation, such as curing, smoking, and canning. Fruit and Vegetable Processing: Methods like canning, freezing, and drying to preserve and enhance the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.

15. Challenges in Food Processing Food Safety: Ensuring that processed foods are free from harmful microbiological and chemical contaminants. Nutritional Quality: Maintaining the nutritional value of processed foods during various processing steps. Sustainability: Reducing food waste, optimizing energy usage, and minimizing environmental impact.
