About this Research Topic
Malnutrition and food insecurity issues are among the most serious concerns for human health. To be healthy, our daily diet must include ample high-quality foods with all of the essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. The importance of optimal nutrition for human health and development is well recognized. Therefore, developing crops with enhanced nutritional value is one of the major goals.
In this Research Topic, we aim to address the technology for the improvement of nutritive value, diet quality, and the sustainability of food production by genetic approaches. This collection of articles also focuses on identifying the genes that are involved in food industry enzymes and gene transfer systems, enhancing vitamins and minerals in crops and our food. Applying new applications of biotechnology in the food industry is perspective to improve functional attributes, such as nutrition, flavor, and texture, and increase the processibility to add value to the food processor as well as to human nutrition. The utilization of genetic diversity in crops and livestock has a wide range of benefits, such as healthier and more secure diets, food quality improvement, and long-term sustainability and resilience of the food system. Genetics has an important role in enhancing the quality production of food systems and supporting human nutrition.
We welcome manuscripts, reviews, and mini reviews exploring topics of interest including, but not limited to the following:
• New applications of biotechnology in the food industry;
• Crops genotypes analysis as perspectives to improve functional attributes, such as nutrition, flavor, and texture;
• Increase the processibility to add value to the food processor as well as to human nutrition;
• Genes of the important food industry enzymes and gene transfer systems;
• New applications of biotechnology in the food industry perspective to improve functional attributes, such as nutrition, flavor, texture, and processibility to add value to the food processor as well as to human nutrition;
• Utilization of genetic diversity in crops and livestock has a wide range of benefits, such as healthier and more secure diets, food quality improvement, and long-term sustainability and resilience of the food system;
• The role of genetics in enhancing the quality production of food systems and supporting human nutrition.
