The Science of Food – What Will the Next 75 years Look Like and How Can We Positively Impact the Future?

Chicago Section Meeting, Dec. 5, 2017Cindy Stewart, PhD, CFS

President, IFT

Food processing dates to prehistoric times• Slaughtering, fermentation, drying, cooking, salting (sailors, warriors)

Ready meals prior to IR – haggis, Cornish pasty Otherwise, essentially the same until industrial revolution – military needs

• 1809 – vacuum bottling/canning• 1862 – pasteurization

20th Century – space race, WWII, rising consumer society• Juice concentrates, freeze drying, frozen foods, preservatives, microwave, convenience

foods• Thermal processing nonthermal and novel processing technologies

Digital technology • 1980s - PCs, CDs, Space Shuttle, worldwide web • 1990s – Linux, VOiP, Ebay, online radio stations• 2000s – iPod MP3, Wikipedia, electronic voting, e-readers, iPhone 2010 - iPad

How will technology and societal needs influence food industry over the next 75 years?

IFT – How can we positively impact the future?

Founded in 1939, IFT was based on the vision of a small group of scientists who believed that communication among professionals involved in food science and

technology was essential to the progress of these emerging disciplines.

More than seventy-five years later, IFT has grown both in numbers and in impact. With members from virtually every discipline related to food science and technology, and from more than 95 countries around the world, IFT has truly become a voice for those dedicated to the science of food.

IFT’s founders established five objectives in the organization’s original constitution:• Facilitate the interchange of ideas among its members• Stimulate scientific investigations into technical problems dealing with the manufacture and distribution of

food• Promulgate the results of research in food technology• Offer a forum for discussion• Plan, organize, and administer projects for the advancement of food science

• FIRST IFT SECTION FORMED 1941

1941 - The first regional Section, the Chicago Section IFT (formerly the Chicago Group of Food Technologists) is recognized. IFT now has 48 sections.

• FIRST IFT DIVISION FORMED 1968 IFT's first division, the Refrigerated & Frozen Food Division, is formed. IFT now has

24 divisions, plus the IFT Student Association.

• The IFT Student Division is formed 1975. In 1982, this Division becomes the IFT Student Association. The IFT Student Association (IFTSA) has over 2,900 members from around the

world. When you join, you become a part of the largest and most important community of students studying food science and technology.
