Food biochemistry principles and knowledge have become indispensable in practically all the major disciplines of food science, such as food technology, food engineering, food biotechnology, food processing, and food safety within the past few decades. Knowledge in these areas has grown exponentially and keeps growing, and is disseminated through various media in both printed and electronic forms, and entire books are available for almost all the distinct specialty areas mentioned above. The two areas of food biochemistry and food processing are becoming closely interrelated.
