Description: Nutritional technology refers to a set of innovations and methods designed to improve the production, processing, and nutritional value of food. This discipline combines knowledge from biotechnology, food engineering, and nutritional sciences to address contemporary challenges in food supply. Its main goal is to ensure that food is not only safe and accessible but also contains the necessary nutrients to promote health and well-being. In a world where the population continues to grow and natural resources are limited, nutritional technology becomes an essential tool for optimizing agricultural production and reducing food waste. Additionally, it seeks to develop food products that cater to the specific dietary needs of various population groups, such as those with allergies, intolerances, or particular health conditions. The integration of advanced technologies, such as genetic engineering and artificial intelligence, enables the creation of more nutritious and sustainable foods, thus contributing to a more resilient and equitable food system.
