Plant-based products are becoming more significant, and breakthroughs in plant-based meats, cheeses, and milk featuring more innovative ingredients such as grains, beans, avocado, and pumpkin, instead of depending on soy as many plant-based companies do. These ingredients will be used to substitute animal protein and to imitate the textures of animal-based products. Besides, the food and beverage industry has very stringent regulations in place and focuses on improving the food supply chain, as it can be remarkably intricate to deliver time or temperature-sensitive ingredients or products. To adapt these regulations, food & beverage producers depend on technology to advance food safety practices and minimize the frequency of outbreaks or other food safety incidents. Further, technology like big data helps to track food ingredients from the source, across the supply chain, and on to the final destinations. Data science and analytics can also be utilized by food & beverage manufacturers to establish transparency within their supply chains, thereby developing trust with their customers and enhancing their brands. Similarly, the food and beverage manufacturers are keen to take advantage of the latest IoT and Industry 4.0 technologies--artificial intelligence and machine learning, robotics, automation, big data--to improve their business operations and supply chains, determine consumer trends, produce safer and healthier and longer-lasting products, decrease environmental impacts, and build brand awareness. As the food and beverages technology metamorphosis continue, we present the top food and beverages technology solution providers and service/consultingcompanies that are aligned with the rapid changes and have the potential to become a game changer in this realm. This edition features insightful articles that emphasize on the manifold benefits of using the latest technologies for better results.
