The goal of this contribution is to provide a summary report on the Extraordinary Scientific Roundtable on COVID-19 and Food Safety co-organized by the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST) and the Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology (CIFST).  The meeting provided a valuable recount of this coronavirus, particularly that the virus is not transmitted by food. On this basis, so far there is no evidence that COVID-19 has any effect on food safety and security as well as on food bioactives. The challenges faced by the food industry during the pandemic period as well as potential post-pandemic time opportunities were discussed.

Including students in special practice curriculums, such as the one initiated by University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca, they become more aware of the entire process in the food industry, from the acquisition, reception,  management of primary and auxiliary materials, to the importance of hygiene, protective equipment, the temperature and operating mode and the sales of the final products. The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of practical training and its role in transforming students in future engineers better prepared for the labor market.

<p>Tracer study which has been done by Department of Food Science and<br />Technology showed that only 62,5% of graduates have related job to the major, while<br />from 62,5% that have, only 10% become businessman/entrepreneur. This matter<br />necessarily become a shared duty of the study program to escalate student<br />entrepreneurial spirit since early on. Step that had been taken by the study program in<br />order to evoke student entrepreneurial spirit has not given maximum result because<br />students could not apply their sciene of entrepreneurship in a business unit practice<br />directly. Therefore, Department of Food Science and Technology is commited to evoke<br />and escalate student entrepreneurial spirit by forming a production unit named “Omah<br />Telo”. This program is directed to obtain reveneu generating for the research group in<br />particular, Department of Food Science and Technology in general and also build<br />technopreneurship sprit in HIMAGHITA. In its first year, this program has been<br />successfully build up a productive business unit “Omah Telo” with chips and sweet<br />potato flour as the main products, also tela-tela, sweet potato stick, ice cream and<br />schotel as the additional products. The entrepreneurship talkshow, food industry<br />management, and also marketing techniques have established the technopreneurship<br />spirit of the students. PIRT permission and online marketing could increase the product<br />marketing of IbPTK production.<br />Keyword: omah telo, technopreneurship, sweet potato</p>

AbstractNanoparticles are considered magic bullets because of their unique properties. Nowadays, the use of nanoparticles has emerged in almost every field of science and technology, owing to its potential of revolutionizing specific fields. In the field of food science and technology, the use of nanoparticles is being studied in diverse areas, starting with the harvesting of crops up to final food consumption. With the increased usage of nanoparticles in day-to-day life, concern over their safety has arisen in everyone’s mind. There is an imbalance between the increase in research to identify new nanoparticle applications and their safety, and this has triggered pressure on scientists to identify the possible effects of nanoparticles on human health. There are numerous studies on the use of nanotechnology in food and the effect of nanoparticles on human health, but there is a vacuum in the literature in terms of the combined analysis of such studies. This review is an attempt to present and analyze different studies on the use and the safety of nanoparticles in food.
