This celebration is not just a testament to the passage of time but a journey through the evolution of our field. From the trade of spices and new ingredients, the development of canning in the 1700s and the rapid expansion in our understanding of the underlying science in the 1800s, each era has contributed to making our food supplies safer, more convenient, healthier, consistent, and of a higher quality. The marvels of the 1900s brought mechanisation, automation, groundbreaking thermal technologies, year-round availability of food, and unprecedented advances in food security <span><sup>1</sup></span>. In times of scarcity, science extends shelf life and maximises nutrition with minimal input. In times of abundance, science transforms food landscapes into exciting, flavourful, and convenient experiences. Unfortunately, memories are short. The food industry – which contributes to nearly a third of all greenhouse gases (GHG) – is often villainised forgetting that techniques such as pasteurisation and ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment mean that fewer people and children would have to deal with the negative effects of food-borne illnesses.<span><sup>2</sup></span> Moreover, we are now able to cater to a variety of diets, health conditions, and preferences.

In many ways, food waste is as - if not more - complex than food production because it overlaps so many areas of study. It's context matters. It is cultural, religious, local, geographic (see figure 1), economic, sometimes deliberate, is inextricably linked to the whole supply chain and has different definitions (Routledge Handbook of Food Waste, 2020). For example, the Waste and Resources Action Program's (WRAP) definition of food waste differs slightly from the Food and Agriculture Organisation's (FAO) definition because it does not consider food that is redistributed or converted to animal feed as waste. Surplus food distribution reduces wastage but is generally not considered a long-term viable solution <span><sup>4</sup></span>. There are also distinctions between inedible and edible food waste, and pre (also referred to as food loss on farms) and post-farm gate (waste from households, institutions) making methodologies and comparisons more challenging.</p><p>In 1977, USDA's report <i>Food Waste: An Opportunity to Improve Resource Use</i><span><sup>5</sup></span> recognised that technological advancemen","PeriodicalId":12404,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Technology","volume":"38 1","pages":"20-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fsat.3801_4.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140047943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How we produce, process, transform, transport, package, consume, and dispose of food will determine the fate of the planet. However, efforts to promote environmental sustainability, ensure food security, and achieve nutritional adequacy are hindered by global phenomena such as climate change and rapid population growth. Technological developments in food science, such as alternative proteins, nutraceuticals, and digital innovations, are emerging as pivotal solutions. These advancements not only address the nutritional and environmental aspects but also cater to the changing consumer preferences and market dynamics. Innovations in food science are essential but not sufficient to address the challenges we face. Designing a sustainable, resilient, and nutritious food system is a collaborative effort involving various stakeholders, including governments, industry, academia, and consumers.

However, the ways in which the industry combats the issue have undoubtedly changed considerably, especially over recent decades. From an analytical perspective, we now have an arsenal of techniques at our disposal to aid identification of adulteration issues and can even pinpoint where in the supply chain an ingredient or product has become affected.</p><p>By definition, adulteration of food is the addition of an extraneous (or lower grade) substance to a food product which reduces its quality and, in some cases, can have an impact on consumer safety. Where intentional, the primary motivation is usually economic, with the aim of lowering costs or increasing the volume of a high value product. However, adulteration can also arise incidentally, where foreign substances are introduced as a result of ignorance, negligence or through the use of improper manufacturing facilities.</p><p>The food industry is experiencing a period of intense economic uncertainty, driven by both immediate factors such as increasing overhead costs, and longer-term factors such as climate change and geopolitical unrest, all of which compromise supply chain security. These pressures mean that some food businesses could be pushed into crisis situations which, without appropriate management, could allow instances of food adulteration to arise. Irrespective of the cause, the inclusion of materials which have not been considered for their toxicological impact, the subsequent mislabelling of the product and the departure from transparent supply chains can all have a serious impact on consumer safety.</p><p>The potential severity of these incidents is illustrated best by the reporting of past examples in the media. One such example was the Chinese milk scandal in 2008, where substandard milk intended for infants was adulterated with melamine in order to generate an artificially high nitrogen result. The intention was to fool the tests that checked for any undeclared dilution of the milk by giving the appearance of a higher protein content. However, melamine is toxic at the concentrations added and as a result, a large number of babies fell sick - in some cases fatally so. Once exposed, techniques able to detect the presence of melamine could be added to testing lists or specifications. However, this example helps to illustrate the potentially lethal cycle created within the field of adulteration detection - fraudsters will often show incredible ingenuity by adapting their strategies in response to advancing technology, and traditional methods of targeted adulterant analysis quickly become inadequate. Bearing in mind the ever-increasing ingenuity of fraudsters and increasing economic factors, how does the food industry protect itself from adulteration threats that are yet to reveal themselves?</p><p>Traditional methods of testing for adulteration have","PeriodicalId":12404,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Technology","volume":"38 1","pages":"30-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fsat.3801_6.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140047797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adoption of AI and machine learning will also enable us to become more aware of food safety risks in our manufacturing environments and be able to pinpoint and take corrective actions. We will see intelligent (smart) factories that can deal with large data sets generated by sensors, factory equipment or CCTV.
