Food provides essential nutrients for the body to develop and sustain life. On the other hand, food contaminated with bacteria or viruses can cause mass poisoning and greatly affect individual health, society, and the competitive edge of food in the domestic and international markets, resulting in economic consequences. According to a report by the World Health Organization, unsafe food is responsible for about 600 million cases of foodborne diseases, with 420,000 deaths each year. Among the microorganisms causing foodborne diseases, the number of infections caused by viruses is increasing, while the figures for bacteria and parasites have been improved thanks to the application of treatment technology in processing drinking water and wastewater.
Nowadays, the role of healthy diet in disease prevention and treatment has been widely recognized. The classification of food as “healthy”, “good for health” or “unhealthy” is based on the nature of the food, the nutritional composition of the food, the frequency of consumption, the way of consuming the food. Therefore, whether a dish is good or not, whether a food is healthy or not depends not only on the type of food consumed, but also on how we prepare it, how we eat it, and how often we consume these foods every day.
