| Abstract [eng] |
The food industry is a large and multidisciplinary industry that is growing every year due to a growing population and a growing income. To continue to grow, the food industry needs to make existing processes more acceptable to society and develop new products in response to evolving consumer needs. In an increasingly globalized market, two main consumer trends are observed: first, the need for modernity is increasing, but at the same time the demand for natural foods is growing (Vidigal et al., 2015). Taking into account consumer trends, food companies develop and apply a variety of innovative food technologies in production, which not only help to develop new food products, but also increase the efficiency and productivity of companies. Nevertheless, the increasing use of innovative food technologies in the food industry, while meeting the needs of society, still raises resistance among consumers, due to potential risks and incomprehensible benefits. |
