Changes in food processing approaches took place as a result of technological improvements and/or changes in health, safety, and hygiene standards. The industrialization of food processing included the adoption of technology, such as steam power, from other industries, and the adaptation of processes for specialist use, such as milling of cereals, sugar, and in cider production. There was almost constant change in the technology of food processing through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, resulting in varied levels of survival of archaeological remains, whether buildings or machinery. Refrigeration was one of the most important industrial developments in food production and processing, allowing for the preservation and global distribution of perishable goods. This chapter explores the development of industrial technology within the food processing industry, and the varied impacts of industrialization, internationally, on food production and distribution.Read More
