The main purpose of food processing is process food are to eliminate micro-organisms (which may cause disease) and to extend shelf life. This also preserves the nutrients present in foods. The nutrient value of food can be changed by the way it is processed, cooked and stored. Food processing can destroy the water-soluble B-group and C vitamins. However, processing and cooking food can also make it safer to store and eat. It deals with food preservation technologies, food chemistry, parameters of food processing, modern food processing trends, food processing industries and practices, food bioactive, novel food processing methods, food packaging, food additives and ingredients and high pressure processing. The global processed food market is estimated at $3.2 trillion. Food processing industry is expected to benefit from this and grow to around $260-billion from the present USD 200-billion in the next 6-years, according to industry expert. It is estimated that potential for processed foods is estimated to reach from Rs 8,200-billion in 2009-10 to Rs13, 500-billion by 2014-15.

Innovations in cancer treatment and prevention over the years have offered new hope to those battling the disease. And the impact has been undeniable: More Americans than ever are surviving cancer. Over the past 20 years, the cancer survivor population has grown by 22 percent, according to the American Cancer Society. That’s about 1.5 million more people who beat the disease, thanks to early detection, lower smoking rates, better screening practices—and improvements in treatment therapies. Today’s medical landscape is rich with promising innovations to treat and prevent cancer, as well as help patients lead healthier lives during and after treatment. At its heart, medical innovation is about challenging the status quo—and, sometimes, conventional wisdom—to uncover new, better and/or more efficient ways to achieve longevity and good health.Nutrition and Cancer and Innovative Treatments deals with nutrition therapy and benefits.

Public Health Nutrition focuses on the promotion of good health through nutrition and the primary prevention of nutrition related illness in the population.
