Food Science and Technology

Food Science and Technology is the application of scientific principles and knowledge to food processing and handling. It is the study of the physical, chemical, biological, and engineering properties of food materials and their reactions to external factors, such as heat, light, and radiation. Food Science and Technology is important for preserving the nutritional value, flavor, and safety of food products. It is used to develop new processes and products, improve existing ones, and increase food availability and security while ensuring regulatory compliance. It also makes it possible to use new food sources, such as plant-based and alternative proteins, to improve the diets of consumers around the world.
