Sažetak
Never before have so many demands been made on the food industry as today. In addition to producing safe and tasty food, the food industry faces the challenge of making food functional, easy to prepare and convenient, with a “zero waste” approach, both in the use of raw materials and in packaging. Food is not only fuel, but it has been given a role in preventing various diseases and improving human health, preferably finely tuned to personal needs and desires. For all these reasons, scientists are working with the food industry to solve problems associated with the consumption of unhealthy foods and to produce new products with increased nutritional value. Furthermore, several new strategies have recently been implemented to address the problem of negative environmental impacts and to maintain sustainability in the food industry. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to describe some of the contemporary challenges of the food industry and trends towards their solution.
