Detailed explanation-1: -Biotechnology can be used for the upgrading of traditional food processing based on fermentation such as the procedures used to produce gari, a fermented, gritty and starchy food derived from cassava. Biotechnology can also help to eliminate toxic components, either by genetic engineering or through food processing.
Detailed explanation-2: -Crops produced by biotechnology include soybeans, corn, cotton, canola, papaya, tomatoes and squash. Also, an enzyme used to make cheese and yeast to make bread is commonly produced by biotechnology.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biotechnology as applied to food processing in most developing countries makes use of microbial inoculants to enhance properties such as the taste, aroma, shelf-life, texture and nutritional value of foods.
