M.Tech. (Food Technology)
Master of Technology in Food Technology

Duration:	2 Years
Level:	Post Graduation
Type:	Degree
Eligibility:	Graduation

M.Tech. Food Technology (Food Engineering) or Master of Technology in Food Technology (Food Engineering) is a two year post graduate Food Technology course. It is only Food Technology which can reduce the gap between harvested food and available food by changing the mode of finished product, i.e., processing, packaging and storage conditions, etc. The focus is on healthy food, diets, calories, nutrition status, etc. The course helps for planning and managing a production process from raw materials to finished product taking food safety and quality into account. The course is beneficial in many fields; after passing it candidates have many career scopes.
