Food insecurity is a challenge for Kenya that endorsed the Millennium Development Goals in 2000,7 which include Goal 1 as the eradication of poverty and hunger. This research was carried out to map out foods consumption per capita in households of various income levels. The “minimum dietary energy requirement” for each person as stipulated by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is just below 2,000 kilocalories per day.8 In Kenya, the poverty line is determined by expenditure required to purchase the food basket that yields a minimum 2,250kcal per adult equivalent per day in addition to non food needs.","PeriodicalId":331573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126419752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in the food processing industries these techniques are combined with other processing operations with the help of several contemporary process-technology plants by using different technical prospects that are not commonly practiced by consumers during household processing. Modern food technology deals with the development of conventional processing methods such as high-temperature short time heating or vacuum cooking, as well as several other approaches like high pressure treatment, extrusion, pulsed electric field technology and microwave processing. These modern technologies usually emphasize on food preservation with maximum retention of food quality attributes and nutrients. Therefore the frequently used concept of ‘‘minimal processing’’ is not absolutely apt, since actually the principle ‘‘as little as possible, but as much as necessary’’ is meant [1].","PeriodicalId":331573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134313585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
