Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Recently, many advances in plant-based food biotechnology are a wideranging science that uses modern technologies to produce food products. Biotechnologists and food scientists' new instruments, methods, industry, and products enhance taste, shell life, nutrition, and food quality. Food biotechnology is as ancient as civilization, via fermentation, to produce food products such as beer, wine, vinegar, sauce, fermented vegetables, etc. Besides that, genetically modified (GM) yeasts and bacteria are used to enhance the products' quality and produce enzymes for improving the quality of plant-based food products. This chapter summarizes the roles and some of the applications of biotechnology in plant-based food processing and food preservation.
