History of Food Science & Technology [For Beginners]

- Do you know that most of the food we see on the shelf of the supermarkets today, wasn’t available a 100-150 years from now?
This was because there were very few techniques to preserve the food. The food would spoil very fast and a lot of people suffered from food poisoning and even death.
The food we eat today, is completely taken for granted because it is cheap and easily available.
The food you and I are eating today has been possible because of the efforts of a lot of scientists, researchers, engineers, food technologists, nutritionists so that the food you are eating is safe and healthy.
But the process of developing food wasn’t invented overnight. So, what is the history and how food technology originated?
Well if you ask me, I think the preservation of food has been abundant since early human started farming. Early humans realized the fact that they could not always hunt for animals or pluck fruits from trees every day.
And if they stored the food like meat, it spoiled very fast. So, they had to develop some preservation techniques for eating the food even when they could not hunt, or the fruits and vegetables weren’t available.
Some of the earliest preservation techniques include Sun-Drying, freezing, salting, fermentation and so on. The downside of the early preservation techniques was that they changed the flavour and texture of the food along with huge loss of vitamins most of the time.
These techniques were not very effective for travellers and soldiers who needed a healthy diet.
During the Napoleonic wars (1803-1815), the French Government offered 12,000 Francs to anyone who could develop a method for preserving food for the military.
In 1809, a French confectioner and chef developed a method of sealing the food in glass jars. The name of that French man was ‘Nicholas Appert’. The process was simple. He sealed the food in a glass jar and then heated the jar for some time depending upon the food. The method proved to be successful and he was awarded 12,000 Francs.
The invention of canning is considered as the major turning point in the history of food technology and food science. Because of his remarkable contribution, Nicholas Appert is also known as the ‘Father of Canning’. And even canning is sometimes referred to as ‘Appertization’.
Although canning was successful but the science behind its success wasn’t known until 50 years later, when a French microbiologist and chemist showed that growth of micro-organisms is responsible for the spoilage of beverages.
He also invented a process where milk was heated to a specific temperature for a specified time to kill the spoilage micro-organisms. That French microbiologist was none other than Louis Pasteur.
The process he invented is still prevalent in the dairy industry and wine industry as well. And in the honour of Louis Pasteur, the process is known as ‘Pasteurization’.
In 1895, almost a 30 years later in Boston, Massachusetts, William Lyman Underwood of a canning company worked with Samuel Prescott to develop the research which would further lead to the concept of ‘Thermal Death Time’.
A lot of people don’t consider this event when it comes to the history of food technology, but this was also one of the turning points in the history as their research was important to determine the time-temperature combination for a food. That means, for how long a food will be cooked at what temperature.
Since then, a lot of research and discoveries had been done but in the 20th century, food safety was still an issue.
In 1960, the Pillsbury company, NASA and the USA army labs collaborated to develop safe and healthy food for the astronauts.
Eventually, they developed a systematic preventive approach to ensure food safety and that came to be known as ‘HACCP’.
HACCP is a preventive tool used in food industry to ensure safety of the food.
HACCP is prevalent today in every food industry and food safety is incomplete without the implementation of the HACCP program.
Since the development of HACCP, there have been a lot of rapid growth in the food technology. Industrialists have adopted newer technologies to process the food in a faster and efficient way.
So, these were some of the major breakthroughs in the history of food technology.

Video is really relevant, short ND simple for a beginner to understand.. It's a gr8 effort from Yur side 👍👍👍
Thank you Sunanda 🙂
Well, I'm from another industry but I found this so interesting and I love your energy whilst explaining food tech. You seem to be really passionate about your craft. Good luck!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the appreciation. :)
Thank you sir i can't explain how you videos help me to evolve as a better food tech student.. And food tech content creator thank you sir😊
Class is still on and on......
Thanks and regards for this beautiful video.
Most welcome
it has been qt amazing learning food science in the modern world of today.
Definitely it is! Where are you from? I'm just curious to know!
Again... An awesome effort... Keep going Areeb..😊😊😉😉
Thank you Ilma ☺️
Thank you sir it's very helpful for me.
Can you add a vedios on history of food microbiology.?
Welcome. I'll think about your suggestion.
Thank u sir , this is easy to understand, pls put a video on recent advances in food industry
Thanks. Sure I'll make such video.
Hi! Well, thanks for this effort, it's really interesting how food (with its tech issues) history is getting more and more researched. Could you provide with 1-2 literature archives for this video? It would be really helpful. Thanks!
Nice presentation
Thank you!
Nice - Clearly described.
Thank you ☺️
nice video..
it may be helpful for me.
bt I was expecting some more techniques n guidance regarding half fry techniques....
which McDonald's n many others are using....
m also having a business of wada pav n it's having a lot of demand.
my business is in mandsaur(M.P) n people from Gujarat mostly like d taste of my dishes.. so I want to expand my business..
so if u can help me by making me aware about some techniques which can preserve my stuff up to 3-4 days so that I can send my dishes to many other cities also .
Thanks. First of all if you are expecting half-frying techniques then please note that I have listed some major events in history of food technology.
I can't help you with preservation technique right now, that depends on a number of factors.
I would like to know more about your wada pav business as I have done my final year project on wada pav shelf life extension.
Bro, please do a video on career opportunities of food technology
Sure I'll do a video on that
i like your lectures
Its really helpful.. best wishes for ur future 😊😊
Thanks a lot Anusha. ☺️
Thank you for the information.
thaanks for the video im doing a project about technology and food and this helped a lot
Glad you found it helpful!
Thats great video

Hi.. r u a food techie...what do u do... video is awesome
Yes, I'm a food technologist. I work as external consultant at FFRC, FSSAI.
Thanku so much Sir
Welcome. ✌
Very helpful 👌 ☺
Thank u sir
Welcome
Thanks for this video! Could you make a video about the future of food technology in 10 or 20 years coming?
Sure, I'd love to make such video. Thanks for the suggestion :)
Thank you for the video. Is it possible to list your references so I may do further research?
Thanks sir
Welcome.
Loved the video, very informative 👍👍
Thank you 🙂👍
Thank u
Welcome ☺️👍
Incoming first year college in food technology
That's nice
how was it
Whats the difference between food tech n food biotechnology?
Food technology is about applying food science to process, store, package or produce food. Food biotechnology is about the application of biological techniques to food crops, animals and microorganisms to improve
the quality, quantity, safety, ease of processing and production economics of food.
Great subject
Thanks!
U should mention Luis pasteur because he invented one of the most important technique of preservation.
I've mentioned from 4:00 - 4:18
In first year what subject
I am only here because of my teacher.
oh that's great!
Ya i guess so.
How to join for food science sis
Shout out sa FT1B og A hahahaha
