Food technology development
In this modern era, technological developments are growing very rapidly. We must understand and understand the mastery of communication and information technology, if we don't want to be crushed and eroded by an era that is rich in competition.
The more sophisticated the technology, the greater the need for understanding technology, moreover this information and communication technology can provide great convenience in all fields, such as in the fields of education, banking, medicine, industry, and so on. Information technology has many conveniences and advantages for each field.
One example of information communication technology is the internet. With the internet, we can explore the world without limits.
Through the internet, we can also see all the information scattered around the world easily. This results in our work being more effective and efficient.
One other example is in the field of agriculture, agriculture is one of the fields where technological developments are quite rapid. Although now there are many developments in agriculture, there are still many people who do not understand the application of technology, especially in rural communities.
However, if we are able to apply it, Science Technology will be a source of benefits for us. Various kinds of contributions made by science technology for the advancement of food in agriculture, especially in today's technology.
One of the benefits is as a means of facilitating the production process and the food processing process. With the computer, the production process will be more effective and efficient.
Very different from the era of technology is still minimal, everything is done by humans manually. It will make work less effective and only a waste of energy and time.
Food technology is a part of the agricultural industrial process. Processes from industry include, among others, plant cultivation, post-harvest, transportation, food processing, packaging, storage and so on.
Step by step producing a quality food product requires information, both in terms of raw materials, processing methods, and packaging methods. Every system that is applied to obtain information must produce an accurate and complete form of output by taking into account time efficiency and easy access.
The applied science of technology can be in the form of processing, exchanging and managing data into information.
The benefits of technology in the food sector include:
- Can be used as a means of supporting creativity for manufacturers who want to make the latest product designs.
- With the development of science and technology, computers can support various kinds of software needed in foods processing.
- The computer can be used as a controller of the state of the chemical substances from the product to be processed, so that producers can easily integrate what they will produce.
- In terms of packaging, special machines are used to make the packaging and automate this process to maximize efficiency and reduce production costs.
- Advertising and publication of processed products. If we use an extensive IT network, it will be easier to market it.
