Week 13 Reflection: New Aggregators

I enjoyed Dr. Wayne Iwaoka’s presentation.  New methods of food processing are needed to produce safe food products that have better sensory and nutritional quality than the traditional thermal canning/pasteurization processes.  Dr. Iwaoka addressed the research on the emerging technologies in this important area of food safety and security. This discussion provided a forum for discussion regarding these technologies to examine which are the most promising for certain food products.  He also discussed how to strengthen collaboration, awareness, and understanding of the wide spread worldwide food borne pathogen problem, emphasizing the technologies under development to bring the problem under control.  Furthermore, he described and discussed the some of the technologies available so that scientists and food industry leaders are aware of these technologies to improve food safety and technology.
