FOREWORD
The professor to his cook: You are a little opinionated and I
have some trouble making you understand that the
phenomena which take place in your laboratory [kitchen] are
nothing other than the eternal laws of nature, and that certain
things which you do without thinking, and only because you
have seen others do them, derive nonetheless from the highest
scientific principles.
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
The Physiology of Taste, 1825
The sentiments expressed by Brillat-Savarin over a
century ago are even more relevant today as the
technology associated with food production, processing
and preparation becomes increasingly complex.
Traditional biotechnology — brewing, baking and other
fermentation processes — has been associated with
food for thousands of years. Now modern biotechnology,
and genetic modification in particular, is
beginning to make an impact. Given food's deep
cultural importance, it is hardly surprising that this has
created anxieties.
This monograph, which aims to address those concerns
and to describe the opportunities presented by modern
biotechnology, is in five sections. In the first two parts
the technology of genetic modification is explained.
Numerous examples of its use in food production are
described in the third section. Several case studies then
illustrate how enzymes are used in food processing,
showing how many modern practices originated from
ancient traditions. Finally, some of the social, economic
and safety implications of genetic modification are
examined.

PRÓLOGO
El profesor a su alumno cocinero: Tú eres un tanto obstinado y
yo tengo algunos problemas para hacerte comprender que el
fenómeno que tiene lugar en tu laboratorio (cocina) no es otra
cosa que las eternas leyes de la naturaleza y que ciertas cosas
que tú haces sin pensar y, sólo, porque has visto a otros hacerlo,
provienen, no obstante, de los más altos principios científicos.
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
The Physiology of Taste, 1825
Los sentimientos expresados por Brillant-Savarin hace un
siglo atrás son más relevantes hoy, a medida que la
tecnología asociada con la producción, procesamiento y
preparación de alimentos se está volviendo cada vez más
compleja. La biotecnología tradicional –preparación de
la cerveza, horneo y otros procesos de fermentación- ha
sido asociada con los alimentos durante miles de años.
En la actualidad, la biotecnología moderna y , la
modificación genética en particular, están comenzando a
producir un gran impacto. Debido a la profunda
importancia cultural de los alimentos, no sorprende que
esto este creando cierta preocupación.
Esta monografía, cuyo objetivo es tratar aquellas
preocupaciones y describir las oportunidades que
presenta la biotecnología moderna, ha sido dividida en
cinco secciones. En las primeras dos partes, se explica la
tecnología de la modificación genética. En la tercera
sección, se describen numerosos ejemplos de su uso en la
producción de alimentos. Luego, varios estudios de casos
ilustran la forma en que las enzimas son utilizadas en el
procesamiento de alimentos, mostrando una cantidad de
prácticas modernas que se han originado en tradiciones
antiguas. Finalmente, se evalúan algunas de las
implicancias sociales, económicas y de seguridad de la
modificación genética.
