Food Science And Technology

1. About Career

Are you interested in the chemical and physical properties of food during production and storage? Do you love to study the science of food preservation, processing and much more?

If yes, you should consider a career in food science and technology.

Food technology is the use of food science to preserve, process, package, distribute, and use safe food practices. It includes improving the flavour, making it last longer, ensuring it's safe for consumption, or even boosting its nutritional content. Food scientists and technologists look for ways to keep food healthy, nutritious, and pleasant looking. They also explore cheaper and faster ways to produce food. Further, they also measure the quality and safety of food and making changes to foods, such as developing sugar-free products and designing processes and machines that make products on a mass scale.

2. Roles and Responsibilities of a Food Science And Technology

• • A food scientist evaluates the nutritional value, colour, flavour and texture of food.

  • Food technologist is responsible for designing processes and machinery for the production of recipes on a large scale.
