Session and Tracks
Track 1: Food Chemistry
Food chemistry is the study of both the biological and non-biological components of food, focusing on the chemical processes and interactions that occur within them. It encompasses the identification and quantification of key food components such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, water, vitamins, and dietary minerals, and is closely related to organic chemistry.
Food chemistry also involves the study and development of food additives used to preserve or enhance the quality of food. It overlaps with biochemistry, particularly in the analysis of food components.
Food chemistry plays a crucial role in the analysis of dietary content to monitor or improve nutrition, as well as in detecting contaminants to ensure food safety. This field includes research into the synthesis of nutrients and preservatives, along with other additives that preserve food quality or modify its color, flavor, and taste. The knowledge gained from food chemistry also contributes to the development of proper food handling techniques and the implementation of good manufacturing practices to ensure food safety and quality.
Key areas within food chemistry include:
- Nutrifood Chemistry
- Agronomy
- Agricultural and Food Chemistry
- Flavor Chemistry
- Agricultural Chemical Science
A drug is a medicinal or chemical compound prescribed by healthcare professionals to treat or manage a specific disease or health condition. The effectiveness of a drug can be influenced by factors such as body mass index (BMI), the severity of the disease, and dietary intake. Food-drug interactions occur when certain food components alter the behavior of a drug, potentially enhancing or diminishing its effects, or even producing new effects that the drug alone would not cause. These interactions can result from unintentional misuse or a lack of awareness regarding the active ingredients in both food and medication. As a result, the interaction between food and drugs can inadvertently either reduce or increase the drug's effectiveness.
Food additives are substances added to food to improve or maintain its safety, freshness, flavor, texture, or appearance. Historically, certain additives have been used for preservation, such as vinegar for pickling, salt for curing (e.g., bacon), and sulfur dioxide in drinks or desserts. Food additives should only be used when there is a clear technical need, and they must not mislead consumers. They must serve a well-defined purpose, such as preserving the nutritional value of food or enhancing its stability. Flavoring agents are also commonly used to enhance the taste of foods, but their use is subject to strict regulations and must adhere to established guidelines. Many researchers and organizations have adopted a standardized numbering system to identify and classify all food additives, whether or not they are approved for use.
Proper food intake and nutritional control are essential for maintaining good health. The body requires six key nutrients from food: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and water. These nutrients play crucial roles in processes such as food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism, and excretion. An organism’s diet, which is the food it consumes, is largely determined by the availability of food, its processing, and its palatability.
A balanced diet involves food preparation and storage techniques that help preserve nutrients by protecting them from oxidation, heat, and leaching, while also minimizing the risk of foodborne illnesses. A poor diet can lead to various health problems, including deficiency diseases like blindness, anemia, scurvy, preterm birth, stillbirth, and cretinism. It can also contribute to conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoarthritis.

Classification of foods
Foods can be divided into broad categories based on shelf life, functions, and nutritional content, as well as processing mechanisms (Fig. 2). Foods are divided into divisions depending on their shelf life. Food spoilage is a common occurrence in which food loses its colour, appearance, taste, nutritional value, and edibility over time. Food that has gone bad will cause sickness and, in the worst-case scenario, death. Food products may be graded as perishable, semi-perishable, or non-perishable based on their shelf life. Food preservatives classification
Natural and synthetic preservatives are two types of food preservatives. Depending on the target food-spoiling agent, both natural and chemical/synthetic preservation additives may be labelled as anti-microbials, antioxidants, or chelators. Chemical preservatives are expected to hold a dominant market share due to their low expense, varied functionalities, and abundance; nevertheless, rising customer aversion and negative health consequences are among the major factors driving natural preservatives’ faster development.

Preservatives are agents that hinder, retard, or stop the development of microorganisms, as well as any other degradation caused by their presence. Preservatives of food help to prolong the shelf life of certain foods. Preservatives prevent microorganisms from degrading food, allowing it to retain its colour, texture, and taste. Human and chemical food preservatives can be distinguished. Various chemicals found in animals, plants, and microorganisms may be used to protect food. They’re also antibacterial, vitamins, and flavourings. The roles of various natural reagents as food preservatives are mentioned in Table 1.

|
Salt and sugar draw the water out of microorganisms and retard the growth of microorganisms.
|
Vinegar
|
Pickled mango
|
Vinegar provides an acidic condition which creates an unfavourable condition for microorganisms.
|
Rosemary extract

Food additives
The primary goals of using food additives are to boost and preserve nutritional value, improve efficiency, minimize waste, increase consumer acceptability, make food more accessible, and make food processing easier. Food additives are natural or synthetic chemical compounds deliberately added to foods during fermentation, preparation, or storage to achieve desired improvements in their properties. There are two types of food additives: deliberate and unintentional. The government specifically controls intentional additives. Table 2 lists the various forms of food additives as well as their potential uses.

|
Sweeteners
|
Add sweetness with or without extra calories
|
Sucrose
|
Fat replacers
|
Impart texture, and creamy ‘mouth feel’ to food
|
Cellulose gel

Anti-microbial food preservatives
Anti-microbials primarily hinder or impede the development of microorganisms, thus preventing food spoilage. Compounds including calcium propionate and sorbic acid found in baked goods, salad dressings, cheeses, margarine, and pickled vegetables are examples of anti-microbial agents. Anti-microbials such as Naringenin producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain (a GRAS organism) [Naringenin, phenylacetaldehyde, phloretic acid and homogentisic acid] are also used as preservatives in the food industry to prolong shelf life, enhance product protection, sustain product consistency, lower production costs, and improve export goods internationally in diverse supply chains. Anti-microbials account for a considerable portion of the market due to their widespread use in various uses, including dairy and frozen foods, snacks, and convenience foods. One of the main factors of this segment’s development is consumer demand for packaged foods.
Preservatives for perishable products
Sodium nitrite is a primary preservative found in cured meats, sausage, and ground beef. When sodium nitrite is applied to meat or fish, it kills toxins and interacts with the proteins. Pathogens can be reduced by using solutions used by meat producers to increase shelf life and flavour. Meat preservatives are widely used because meat is a widely eaten food globally, with heavy use in major regions such as North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Latin America. In these areas, the economy is improving, allowing consumers to buy meat regularly.
North America is the leading market
The North American market for natural antioxidants is predicted to be the most robust between 2016 and 2022. The Asia Pacific market is expected to rise at the fastest pace. The growing demand for convenience foods is projected to affect the North American food preservatives industry significantly. Consumers are looking for convenience foods that are minimally processed and have a long shelf life. This has increased the need for suitable food safety initiatives in the field, prompting producers to look at newer innovations and additives that may be effective substitutes for synthetic preservatives.

This would aid in the expansion of the company’s current product line in the United States.
-
The new technologies used to extend the shelf life of foods include irradiation, high-pressure food storage, and pulsed electric field effect. As dietary additives and preservatives, various chemical reagents have been added. However, there is increasing controversy over chemical additives and preservatives in food due to potential health risks.
Canada, Singapore and other European countries spend relatively less portion of their income on food while other equatorial countries like India, Pakistan and Africa spend relatively more portion of their income on food. The retail grocery industry in the US alone makes around $6.50 trillion in revenue in 2021 according to the U.S. Department of the census.

GLOBAL NUTRITION REPORT
Malnutrition is a universal issue holding back development with unacceptable human consequences and causing illness in the world population. Yet the opportunity to end malnutrition has never been greater. The UN Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016–2025 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide global and national impetus to address malnutrition and expedite progress. The burden of malnutrition across the world remains high, and progress remains slow. Malnutrition is one of the reasons for more ill health in the population than other causes. Children under five years of age face multiple burdens: 150.8 million are stunted, 50.5 million are wasted and 38.3 million are overweight. Meanwhile 20 million babies are born of low birth weight in every year. Overweight and obesity among adults are at record levels with 38.9%, stretching from Africa to North America, and increasing among adolescents. Women have a higher burden than men when it comes to certain forms of malnutrition: one third of all women of reproductive age have anemia and women have a higher prevalence of obesity than men. Millions of women are still underweight. Many countries are set to achieve the targets set by the global community to track progress on nutritional status to 2025.
