Food products

Food technology is an interdisciplinary field which has approached health and welfare technology in the 21th century. Food sciences and technology apply basic physical sciences, such as biology, chemistry and physics.

Patent applications in the food technology often relate to production processes. In the food industry, consumer habits may change quickly and the technology provides new possibilities at a growing rate. The industry responds to these challenges by product development - by developing food products that are healthier, more affordable and easier to consume.
