Food science is the study of the physical, biological, and chemical makeup of food; and the concepts underlying food processing. It covers all the aspects of food. Food technology is the application of food science to the selection, preservation, processing, packaging, distribution, and use of safe food. Foods have been classified into different groups depending upon the nutritive value, for the convenience of planning diets. Food groups like ‘Basic four’, ‘Basic five’ or ‘Basic seven’ can be used for planning diets as per the convenience. Health is related to the food consumed. To maintain good health, ingesting a diet containing the nutrients in correct amounts is essential. A balanced diet is one which contains different types of food in such quantities and proportions so that the need for calories, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins is adequately met and a small provision is made for extra nutrients to withstand short duration of leanness. Deficiency of any nutrient affects health of an individual. Food has not only nutrients but also nutraceuticals which prevent degenerative diseases.

Scope and Importance: 
The All Natural Food and Drinks refer to foods and drinks which are minimally processed. The All-natural Food and Drinks market is an alternative to the organic foods or the products labeled as “free from”. The demand from the developed markets such as the U.S., the U.K., and Germany is expected to increase in the coming years. The consumer preferences for foods with non-genetically modified ingredients are compelling the industry to manufacture products free from such ingredients. The heavy lobbying by the people in the U.S. has compelled Food and Drugs Association to redefine labelling of the products with the genetically modified ingredients. The European countries have already banned such products as they are harmful for humans, animals and also environment. Ban and reduced production of such products would support the growth of All Natural Food and Drinks market.

The product segments for All Natural Food and Drinks market include All-Natural Food and Drink and All-natural Food and Drink ingredients. The latter can be further categorized under Natural Flavours, Natural Colours, Natural Sweeteners, Natural Preservatives, Other ingredients and Non-ingredients. Some of the major global companies operating in the market are Nestle, Archer Daniels, Bunge, General Mills, Tyson Foods and Con-Agra Foods.
