This research focuses on the crucial issue of categorization processes within the context of the food industry terminology in the English language. The study is based on an analysis of lexicographic data from specialized and explanatory dictionaries, employing methods of systematization and categorical analysis of food industry terms. The study examines how linguistic expressions are used to categorize and represent the concepts and processes associated with the food industry. It also explores the significance of the "process" category within this specialized domain. The research identifies three primary ontological categories of the food industry conceptual domain: objects, processes, and subjects. Among these, the category of "processes" emerges as particularly significant. In the food industry, processes encompass a wide array of activities and phenomena that are vital for the transformation of raw materials into finished food products. These processes are integral to ensuring efficiency, product quality, and safety within the industry. The primary objective of the research is to shed light on the role of the processes category and its linguistic representation in the English food industry terminology. The research also identifies productive linguistic elements, including special vocabulary, specialized morphemes, terms created on the basis of metaphorical transfer and syntactic constructions, that contribute to the formation of terms related to the "process" category
