M.Tech. (Food Technology)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

---

M.Tech. Food Technology or Master of Technology in Food Technology is a postgraduate Food Technology course. It is only Food Technology which can reduce the gap between harvested food and available food by changing the mode of a 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.
