Abstract: The issues that have arisen from the food industry is much more serious than realized at a surface-level. One of the main issues seems to stem from not knowing what to do with high volumes of wasted food. With products from the food industry being produced at high quantities and perishing in short period of time, food waste has began to take a major toll on the Earth’s environment. However, food in it of itself is a material consisting of complex chemical compounds, and thus the chemicals themselves can be observed, utilized, and even manipulated. It is within these ‘manipulations’ by which chemical engineering comes into aid. If one were to list the failures of the food industry, then the first and foremost failure is not having enough adequate chemical engineers. For food industries that have succeeded, studies show an integration of chemical engineering principles being implemented. This research will study the negative consequences and results of the food industry lacking in chemical engineers, as well as food industries from other countries, such as Europe, implementing chemical engineers with favorable outcomes.
