“…This new differentiation path is aligned to the perspective that a "food product has a lot of value, also referring to where (and how) it comes" (Lopez, 2014). This results in the opportunity for technological and scientific developments to be aligned with the social dynamics of the food industry (Kasemodel et al, 2016).…”

“…Brand reputation increases the value perceived by consumers, strengthening loyalty, advocacy, and identification with the firm (Du, Bhattacharya & Sen, 2007). Additionally, a differentiation strategy based on food ethics provides a better understanding of a more responsive demand in terms of needs, rationales and beliefs (Kasemodel et al, 2016).…”

The contemporary context in which the food industry is set up instigates a new product conception towards food ethics. However, how effectively does this perspective materialize on the gondolas of retail chains? In order to bring some elements to discussion, this article presents an exploratory study based on the decoding of information contained in food labels marketed in Brazil. In total, 287 labels regarding four categories (juices, snacks, chocolates, and yogurt) were analyzed using the Reverse Engineering methodology. The results indicate a movement of brand differentiation structured in actions conducted inside (a result of product and process engineering) and outside (regarding relationship engineering along the value chain). In other words, the internalization of innovations in products and processes (inside perspective) and; the development of vertical cooperation and coordination relations outside the company (outside perspective). In this sense, participation in globally connected markets is described as a driver of differentiation strategies regarding ethical aspects in the food processing industry and has direct effects on the vertical structures of firms, as suggested by the value chain literature.

“…It is possible to investigate how scientific communication process occurs using obtained bibliometric data (Güzeller and Çeliker, 2018). Bibliometric studies allow the identification of the trends in a certain field by quantifying the literature in this area (Kasemodel et al, 2016). In bibliometric researches, the works are analyzed according to certain characteristics and various findings are obtained (Al and Coştur, 2007).…”

The purpose of this study is to perform bibliometric analysis of the scientific researches published in mathematics education subject area between 1980 and 2018, to find out the general layout of the scientific knowledge and communication structure of the field using an objective method, driven from the data. The publications were analyzed according to publication year, type of publication, language of publication, title of publication, name of the author, country of the author and number of citations taken from the sources scanned in Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database; structural and temporal analysis of various networks, such as collaboration networks and author collaborations were performed. In addition, a word analysis was also conducted in the study to determine the concepts used in the researches published in mathematics education area and covered in the data set. It was found that the publications involving mathematics education increased from 1980 to 2018. The review of the countries according to the number of studies that they have performed in the field revealed that the most productive countries are United States, England and Turkey. Regarding the centrality of the countries in the network, the countries that are located at the center of the network were found to be England, US and Spain, respectively. Regarding the ranking of the countries according to the number of citations taken for the scientific works that they have performed in mathematics education area, it was found that US, Turkey and Malaysia had the highest number of citation bursts. Regarding the ranking of the works according to title, the topics that have been mostly worked on are elementary mathematics classroom, teacher education and achievement gap. The words that are mostly used in mathematics education research area were mathematics, education, student and achievement, respectively.

“…As a result, a multi and interdisciplinary approach is required (Saguy & Cohen, 2016). Indeed, the need for scientific and technological development is intertwined with the social dynamics in which the food processing industry operates (Kasemodel, Makishi, Souza, & Silva, 2016). Culminating in new, distinct and interrelated knowledge domains that must be approached in an articulated manner by food engineering education, such as biology, medicine, molecular gastronomy, new materials, and nanotechnology, in addition to concepts of market, and business economics (Saguy, Singh, Johnson, Fryer, & Sastry, 2013).…”

Are we doing our homework? An analysis of food engineering education in Brazil

What is the profile of Food Engineering education in Brazil? Are we following the contemporary professional renewal trend? Driven by these questions, the present study analyzed data regarding 21 academic courses,which represent approximately 22% of the total bachelor’s degree in food engineering courses offered in the country. Samples were defined considering a Brazilian annual ranking of undergraduate programs: very good (four stars) and excellent (five stars). Next, information was recovered from both the Brazilian Ministry of Education and institutional homepages of each analyzed program. The results suggest that food engineering programs exhibit relative identity, naturally due to their history and the path of each program and their faculty, shaping particularities in how fields of knowledge are constituted, in addition to their representativeness in the total workload of the program. However, initial analysis is suggestive regarding understanding that Brazil is not properly doing its homework, based on global movement, concerning food engineering education. The need to rethink Brazilian technical education, without culminating in additional workload, is emphasized, not only regarding new materials and technologies for learning and teaching, but also in terms of bringing a human and market approach. The achievement of this complex goal seems to be provided by the encouragement of student associations, transversal learning processes, and learning experiences outside the classroom as a means of improving undergraduate programs and human resources.
