Computers in Food Technology

Synopsis
Looks at the role of information technology in the food industry, particularly at 1) market research: how consumer trends are analysed using bar coding and loyalty card schemes, and using the New Foods Database to assess the competition; 2) the test kitchen: using online databases and spreadsheets to instantly assess the nutritional qualities and cost of test recipes; 3) labelling: how the Enlabel programme helps manufacturers comply with legal labelling requirements; 4) food safety: tracing the causes of food poisoning using DNA extraction and database analysis.
