Types of Food Processing
Food processing encompasses all the steps that food goes through from the time it is harvested to the time it arrives on consumer’s plate. According to FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), processed foods can be classified into three types viz. Primary, Secondary and Tertiary.
Primary Processing includes basic cleaning, grading and packaging as in case of fruits and vegetables.
Secondary Processing includes alteration of the basic product to a stage just before the final preparation as in case of milling of paddy to rice.
Tertiary Processing leads to a high value-added ready-to eat food like bakery products, instant foods, health drinks, etc.
