India can boast of one of the most ancient
food traditions in the world.In the post Independence era Indian lifestyle has undergone
many changes and has accepted influences from all across the globe, especially
the West. Indian households today welcome the use of processed and
packaged foods, which was unthinkable even two
decades ago. Growing urbanisation and working middle class are the two factors that
have thrown up a huge market of over 300 million consumers which is phenomenon in
itself. Little wonder then that Indian Food Industry has not only got organised rapidly
but also is growing by leaps and bounds. It is important, to have accurate knowledge that
