The Utilisation of Space Foods and Their Detriments: An Extensive Review
Prathiksa Pramanik and Souvik Tewari*
Abstract
Space foods are regarded as a type of foods which are created and processed for imbibing by Astronauts throughout the small or protracted mission to exterior space. People are very much closely associated into spacecraft which having a human crew before few many years, along with International Space Stations while the foremost terminus for short- or long-term missions. To search out widely the suitable avenue for Astronauts to carry on adequate food consumption in time of longest life at Moon or Mars. Furthermore, for little or big mission, longer shelf life containing foods are suitable which must be nutrient denser. Space foods are affected by microgravity, DNA destruction, hamper metabolism, intestinal distress and so on. Space foods are classified as canned foods, dehydrated foods, medium moisture foods, natural foods, refrigerated foods, fresh foods, irradiated foods, and functional foods. first five denoted space foods are utilised in squat missions broadly however remained three space foods are employed in space flights or prolonged missions. space foods have also some provocations which create hazards for Astronauts including quick lost the shelf life in fresh foods, no standardization, insufficiency in cooking and storage, diet menu fatigue. This review proclaims about space foods and its snugness on Astronauts.
Keywords
Astronauts, space foods, diet menu fatigue, small or large mission, drawback of space foods.
