	Food Processing
		Food processing’s earnings trend over the last quarter of a century reveals an industry with rather steady relative earnings growth except for the long period in the 1980s that was triggered by severe national recessions.
		The seasonal nature of food processing and the skill requirements are further illustrated by a profile of average hourly wages.
		Food processing is slated, however, to recover during the next century with modest employment growth of 0.3 percent per annum between 2000 and 2020.

		Anyone processing food, which is defined as cooking, baking, heating, drying, mixing, grinding, churning, separating, extracting, cutting, freezing or otherwise manufacturing a food or changing the physical characteristics of a food, and the packaging, canning or otherwise enclosing of such food in a container, but does not mean the sorting, cleaning or water-rinsing of food.
		Foods that would be considered acidified include low acid foods to which an acid or acid food is added (pumpkin butter, salsa, mustard, pickled eggs, pickles and other pickled vegetables).
		The food preparation activities in a domestic kitchen must be limited to the kitchen, although occasionally, kitchens have a dining area, entry or pantry that are connected to the kitchen and can be reasonably used as an extension of the kitchen area.

	FOOD PROCESSING
		The freezing process was used commercially for the first time in 1842, but large-scale food preservation by freezing began in the late 19th century with the advent of mechanical refrigeration.
		Although both these terms are applied to the removal of water from food, to the food technologist drying refers to drying by natural means, such as spreading fruit on racks in the sun, and dehydration designates drying by artificial means, such as a blast of hot air.
		Foods that already have been frozen are placed in a vacuum-tight enclosure and dehydrated under vacuum conditions with careful application of heat.

	Dirty Secrets of the Food Processing Industry
		This type of processing resulted in delicious foods and kept the profits on the farm and in the farming communities where it belonged--food processing should be a local cottage industry.
		Oil processing begins with the extraction of crude vegetable oils from the seeds, a process that requires high temperatures and pressures, and often involves a hexane solvent.
		During the process of partial hydrogenation, one of the hydrogen atoms in a pair is moved to the other side of the molecule, forming a trans fatty acid, such as elaidic acid—trans means "across." This causes the molecules to straighten out so that they pack together easily and form a solid fat at room temperature.

	Food processing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Food processing is the set of methods and techniques used to transform raw ingredients into food for consumption by humans or animals.
		Food processing dates back to the prehistoric ages when crude processing incorporated slaughtering, various types of cooking, such as over fires, smoking, steaming, oven baking), fermenting, sun drying and preserving with salt.
		In general, fresh food that has not been processed other than by washing and simple kitchen preparation, may be expected to contain a higher propotion of naturally occurring vitamins, fibre and minerals than the equivalent product processed by the food industry.
