Abstract:

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.
