Celebrating the Past 75 Years and Preparing for the Next 75 Years

摘要

At the Annual Meeting in New Orleans on June 21-24 2014, the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) will be celebrating their 75th anniversary. Our journal is a bit older, with Food Research (the precursor to the Journal of Food Science) publishing its first issue in January of 1936. Science has made tremendous progress in the past 75 years. One case in point occurred 60 years ago with the publishing of the double helix structure of DNA by Watson and Crick in the journal Nature. This could be considered the start of research that ultimately produced the Human Genome.
