Organic chemistry in nutrition food science and biotechnology

Answer 1

Organic chemistry is the branch of the chemistry which deals with the carbon and its compounds.

Now, the food which we eat and the nutrition which we take are directly or indirectly related to the inorganic chemistry. All the nutrition and food which we eat are derived from the plants which contains the carbon. Hence our nutrition also contains the carbon. Thus we deals with the organic chemistry in that.
Not only that, the salad which we eat are also organic since they are derived from the plants.
Sometimes humans eat the flash of another's animals which are also made of carbon or its compounds.


In the Biotechnology, organic chemistry is widely used. While doing the experiments in case of the plants breedings or making the structure of the phosphate groups or the sugars present in the groups, organic chemistry is used.


Hence organic chemistry is very important in case of the food sciences and the Biotechnology.
