Description
Biotechnology enhances food quality, safety, and nutritional value using microorganisms, enzymes, and other biological agents.
Technical
Biotechnology in food production involves genetic modification of crops, microbial fermentation, and enzyme-assisted extraction of plant-based ingredients to improve food quality and reduce environmental impact. This can include the use of microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast to produce fermented foods, and the use of enzymes to extract nutrients from plants.
