globally. Public concerns and awareness are rising every day due
to reports published on food-borne diseases, poor quality and
associated risks. Quality of human health cannot be assured
unless ample amount of nutritional and safe foods are made
available to the people. About one third of population of the world
is still suffering from the issues of food security and malnutrition.
The situation is even worse in developing world. The main focus of
biological imperatives, objectives, and new domains of research is
to achieve nutrient, food safety and security.
