DEPARTMENT OF FOOD SCIENCE & NUTRITION
Food Science and Nutrition is a comprehensive progressive discipline that encompasses many scientific fields such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, microbiology, nutrition, and biotechnology. The domain of food science provides a solid scientific basis for a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms and processes involved in food preservation, food processing, and nutritional value of food products. Food Scientists and Nutritionists work in this area for improving the safety, wholesomeness and nutritional integrity of food products for human consumption. Food scientists play a vital role in the industrial and institutional collaborations for the research and development of novel food products which are healthy and attractive for consumers.
Objectives:
-
To produce highly professional and qualified food technologists for food industries, teaching and research organizations.
-
To establish links between teaching/research institutions, government, commercial organizations and consumers.
-
