Major food nutrients and food chemistry is the
most powerful tool for the health, reduction in
global poverty and hunger in the developing
countries of the world like South Asia
The aim of presentation consists of major food
nutrients, food chemistry and poverty alleviation
were studied and reported that food is the basic
need of our life and the food chemistry deals with the
production, processing, preparation, and utilization of
food like plants and animals which are the main source
of food and food nutrients. Similarly, the basic food
chemistry deals with three major food components
such as carbohydrate, lipids and protein which are
found in plants and animals cells. It is also called as
the food science. Food carbohydrates include sugar,
starches and fibres, lipids include fats, oil, waxes and
cholesterol. Protein is very important component of
food and necessary for the life of human being. All the
components are the basic source of energy. In the light
of above study, food chemistry and nutrition are not only
the basic need of food but also fulfills the maximum
requirements of human beings from the integrated
agricultural products of agro based industries like
livestock and dairy development, poultry, aqua cultural,
apiculture, crops production, fruits, vegetable, seed
industries and processing plant. Similarly, agro based
industries, food science, food chemistry and nutrition
absorbs millions of technical and non-technical people
like doctors, engineers, agricultural scientist, technical
experts etc thus generating source of income, create
employment as well as reduction of global poverty and
hunger in the World. It is concluded that agricultural,
food science, food chemistry and nutrition are the basic
need of our lives which in turn generate income, create
employment, consequently reduction in poverty and
hunger. It was also concluded that in the absence of it
life is almost impossible.
