meat industry

This type of food industry works with meat raw materials from the slaughter of livestock for human consumption, mainly pigs and cattle. On some occasions also horses and camels. The slaughterhouse is the initial element of the production process and its specific processes are slaughter and boning. The workers in this industry, regardless of the type of meat, are usually very specialized in cutting up meat. Part of the meat is dedicated directly to human consumption, and part is taken to other industries for processing various sausages, smoking, canning, and animal food.

fishing industry

The fishing industry uses all products from the sea as raw materials. It is an industry with a highly specialized workforce that is local to the coasts, seaports, and waterways of each country. Over the years it has become industrialized and today the cultivation of certain species in what are called fish farms is even considered.

dairy industry

The dairy industry uses milk from animals as its raw material; it is one of humanity's most basic foods. The dairy industry's first restriction is to handle milk below 7 °C and the storage period should not exceed three days. The specific processes of this industry are skimming" and pasteurization (heating at a temperature of 72 °C for an interval of 15 seconds). Part of the milk is dedicated to consumption as liquid and powdered milk, to the production of cheeses, butters and margarine.

The poultry industry's raw material is the use of birds cared for on farms.

beverage industry

The beverage industry's objective is the production and packaging of beverages in general. This industry is very diversified due to the great diversity of beverages it provides, however the processes are generally the same: a first phase of grain collection (barley, cocoa, tea, etc.) that uses unskilled labor, and then a series of automatic processes that requires semi-skilled labor.

The characteristics of the drinks mean that they are made up of two main categories:

• - Alcoholic beverages.

• The distilled liquor industry.

• The wine industry.

• Beer manufacturing.

• - Non-alcoholic drinks.

• Bottling and packaging of water and soft drinks.

• Manufacture of syrups for soft drinks.

• Bottling, canning and packaging in fruit juice boxes.

• Coffee industry.

• The tea industry.

The food industry requires prepared professionals, which is why instruction and training in the food area in its various modalities and levels has been divided into five large specialty areas, Food Chemistry and Analysis (QAA), Food Safety and Microbiology (IAM), Food Engineering (IA) and Food Technology (TA), complemented with a series of tools for success (HPE) (Morgan, Ismail, and Hayes, JFSE Vol.5 2006) (ANIA DITD Members 2005). There are degrees in all these specialties.
