Developing new food, beverages and drink products is a complex process - requiring knowledge of ingredients, packaging materials, processing techniques, legislation and consumer demands and preferences. The difference between product development and research development and is that research and development is the conception phase in the product life cycle, while product development is the entire process of creating, designing, and marketing new products or existing products with new features.

Track 9. Food Beverages & Microbiology
Food hygiene & safety is a major focus of food microbiology. Numerous agents of disease, pathogens can easily transmitted via food, including bacteria, and viruses. Microbial toxins are also possible contaminants of food. Finally, bacteriophages that only infect bacteria can be used to kill bacterial pathogens. There are simple and fast detection of bacteria, with a use of media containing chromogenic substrate such as Salmon-GAL. Certain enzymes, produced by some particular bacteria, cleave these substrates, resulting in the different coloration of specific bacteria colonies. This allows to clearly seeing the presence of the targeted microorganism, observed as a clearly observable color change. Most chromogenic media is intended for authentic detection of pathogenic bacteria.

Agricultural technology is specifically about developing new technologies to expand food production. A main focus of agri-tech is reducing the impact of farming on the environment, but it can also increase productivity, profit, or health and safety. Agricultural and food scientists play a crucial role in maintaining and expanding the nation's food supply. Food scientists and technologists use chemistry, biology, and other sciences to study the basic elements of food & beverages. They analyse the nutritional value of food, discover new food sources, and research ways to make processed foods safe and healthy.
Some of the main aspects of agri-tech are:

Have you ever walked into a shop and just bought something simply because you found the packaging so attractive?
The utmost function of packaging is preservation and protection from external contamination. This function involves extension of shelf life, retardation of deterioration and maintenance of quality and safety of packaged food. Packaging provide food protection from environmental hazard such as heat, oxygen, light, the presence or absence of moisture, pressure, enzymes, spurious odors, microorganisms, insects, dirt and dust particles, gaseous emissions etc. All of these main cause for deterioration of foods and beverages. Extended shelf life includes preventing of microbial, enzymatic and biochemical reactions through various strategies such as temperature control; moisture control; addition of chemicals such as salt, sugar, natural acids, carbon dioxide, removal of oxygen or a combination of these with effective packaging.
