M.Tech Food Engineering and Technology

Master of Technology in Food Engineering and Technology

M.Tech Food Engineering and Technology or Master of Technology in Food Engineering and Technology is a Post-Graduate Environmental Science course. Food engineering is a multidisciplinary field of applied physical sciences that combines science, microbiology, and engineering education for food and related industries. This Food Engineering and Technology course provides the technological knowledge transfer essential to the cost-effective production and commercialization of food products and services.

The M.Tech in Food Engineering and Technology course curriculum includes contents that allow a fruitful interaction of the food engineer with other professionals playing a role in food products such as food chemists, microbiologists and food technologists. This course is the application of the principles of science to the efficient commercial production of safe wholesome food from defined raw materials. It includes the processing of fruit, vegetable and dairy products, particularly where such unit operations as heat exchange, pasteurization or evaporation take place.
