Definitin f Quality Degree f excellence and include such things as taste, appearance, and nutritinal cntent. The cmpsite f characteristics that have significance and make fr acceptability Quality Factrs in Fds Appearance Factrs Textural Factrs Flavr Factrs Additinal Quality Factrs 1. Appearance Factrs Include such things as; Size Shape Whleness Different frms f damage Glass Transparency Clr Cnsistency Size and shape Easily measured Imprtant factrs in federal and state grade 2. Texture Factrs Texture Refers t thse qualities f fd that we can feel either with the fingers, the tngue, the palate r the teeth. A departure frm an expected texture is a quality defect. Expected texture Chewing gum t be chewy Crackers and ptat chips t be crisp Steak t be cmpressible and shearable between the teeth 3. Flavr factrs Flavr is a cmbinatin f bth taste and smell, largely subjective, hard t measure because f difference f pinin: Peple differ in Their sensitivity t detect different tastes and drs Their preference Their cultures

Scpe f Fd Technlgy Fd Technlgy develped as a discipline t systematically rganize and link the varius kinds f knwledge which are necessary t infrm human activity in fd handling, prcessing, distributin and marketing. Fd Technlgy applies : 1. The principles and cncepts f engineering t prblems f fd handling and prcessing, and 2. Studies the interrelatinships between the prperties f materials and the changing methds f handling and manufacturing them. Fd Business may be characterized as: Vulnerable t spilage, High vlume, Lw margin, Multiple prducts, Transprtatin intensive; and End user marketing intensive.

Cncern abut fd safety issues is very strng. Fd scientists are respnding t these nutritinal and safety cncerns in a variety f ways, Increased attentin t fd interactins and biavailability f nutrients, Imprved analytical and detectin methds, and research and educatin in fd safety. New prduct develpment, particularly in the area f reduced-fat and reduced-calrie prducts is predicted. New prcessing technlgies such as high energy electric pulse prcessing, freeze cncentratin, and hydrstatic pressure prcessing (which are ften nt yet available in the U.S.) shw prmise. Bitechnlgy is a grwing area. Impact f develpments in ther Technlgies n Fd Technlgy Fr the sake f cmpleteness it shuld als be mentined that develpment f fd technlgy draws heavily n develpments in ther technlgies, such as thse in steel, tinplate, glass, aluminum, plastics, engineering, instrumentatin, electrnics, chemicals, and agriculture.
