Definitions

• Biotechnology - the use of biological processes
  in industrial production, including the use
  biotechnology for the making of food products
  such as cheese, wine, and beer, medically for
  producing vaccines and insulin products. As
  Schlenker and Ross point out, Biotechnology is a
  field of science involved with gene technology,
  allowing us to manage deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
  material, adding or removing a gene from the DNA
  of a plant or animal species (textbook)
• Gail Frank in Community Nutrition Applying
  Epidemiology to Contemporary Practice discusses
  the role of biotechnology in food production.
  Traditional biotechnology involves plant and
  animal breeding and mutation, collection,
  selection, and natural products. New
  biotechnology produces genetic modification at
  the molecular level opening the doors for a new
  field of bionutrition.
