Plant-based foods continue to be studied for quality improvement by combining various food technologies. As for insect protein, the types of insects used for food are increasing, and processing techniques and utilization methods suitable for each insect are being studied. Cell-based foods are expected to have the most similarity to meat characteristics, and research considering production efficiency and economic feasibility will continue to be necessary. The process of improving product quality and maximizing production efficiency through continuous research on food tech technology, as well as proving the safety of new food groups, will be required.","PeriodicalId":476067,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Industry","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135040384","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}

Cultured meat has attracted great attention recently as a promising alternative to conventional meat, offering a more humane, nutritious, and sustainable option. There has been a remarkable breakthrough in cultured meat, but it still faces numerous technological challenges that impede cultured meat production at a commercially large scale. With regard to these, significant improvements and changes are required in the cultured meat process to achieve scaling-up production, cost-efficiency, consumer-friendliness, and sustainability. Herein, this review encompasses the latest advancements and commercialization in the field of cultured meat. Subsequently, the crucial technologies and challenges that influence the development and production of cultured meat are discussed with a conclusive interpretation of these factors.","PeriodicalId":476067,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Industry","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135040697","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}

The popularization of apartments in the urban areas led to the “kimchi problem,” as the new living environment posed significant challenges to the traditional methods of preserving kimchi. During the next several decades, Koreans came up with various alternative methods and technologies to store kimchi, from simple wrappings using synthetic materials such as Styrofoam, to more complex refrigeration technologies that eventually led to the kimchi refrigerator that we know today. The first electric appliance known as the kimchi refrigerator was manufactured by Goldstar in 1984. Through a historical survey of kimchi storing methodologies, this article will trace not only the successful technologies that survive, but also the failed technologies that disappeared. This will provide a more nuanced understanding of the history of technology in modern Korea.","PeriodicalId":476067,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Industry","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135040378","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, concerns may arise about potential price increases and disruption to the regular produce market if the ugly produce market grows excessively.","PeriodicalId":476067,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Industry","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135040589","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}

Although plant-based alternatives have advanced safety and marketability, they differ from conventional meat in taste, physical properties, and nutrition, and cultured meat has many challenges to be resolved in terms of production costs and technology. It is still difficult for alternative proteins to be a perfect substitute for conventional meat, but this can be overcome by improving protein sources, developing new protein sources, and developing processing processes. In addition, it is expected that the development of healthier alternatives to conventional meat through changes in nutritional composition will contribute to human health as well as an solution to global food security.","PeriodicalId":476067,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Industry","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135040379","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}

Probabilities (posterior probabilities) change as fresh data are acquired, and reasonable inferences can be drawn from a limited dataset. Moreover, inferences become more precise with larger amount of data. In the field of food quality and safety management, numerous variables remain unobserved or unmeasured due to economic or technical limitations. Bayesian networks are highly suitable for addressing these variables and can be employed to construct models for diverse aspects of quality control and the identification of potential hazards. Furthermore, they possess the capability to handle uncertainty and prove valuable in product design by offering a means to comprehensively approach intricate issues. Bayesian networks are garnering growing interest, especially in food-related consumer sensory and marketing investigations, and further applications are anticipated in this domain.","PeriodicalId":476067,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Industry","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135040698","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}
