Food Technology

Hi Vivek,
Food engineering is a combination of science, microbiology, and engineering education for food and related industries. Food engineering includes the application of agricultural engineering and chemical engineering principles to food materials.The prospective major employers for food engineers include companies involved in food processing, food machinery, packaging, ingredient manufacturing, instrumentation and control. Firms that design and build food processing plants, consulting firms, government agencies, pharmaceutical, and health-care firms also hire food engineers.
Scope in India
A food technologist can get the job of a Quality Assurance Manager, Production Manager, Laboratory Supervisor, Food Packaging Manager or as a technician in food processing and packaging industry or even as a research associate in premier institutes, universities and research and development units. A post - graduate candidate in food technology can work as a lecturer or an advisor in Government Colleges, Inspection Boards or Quality Control Cells. Companies like Hindustan Lever, Heinz, Kellogs, Nestle and many others recruit food technologists periodically for bringing about an improvement in their products. A graduate in home science, nutrition and hotel management can also fetch you good jobs in this sector.
Both the private and the public sectors provide lucrative job opportunities to food technologists. The hotel industries in particular are the leading job providers. The openings are mainly in the production and quality control departments. You can also work as food packaging technologist and food preservation managers in various food packaging industries.
Scope abroad
You can work as a product development manager in a food research company to devise food products according to the needs of the consumers and effectively implement the products in an innovative way. You can also pursue your research work as a scientist abroad to formulate new product range and enhance the existing portfolio of products in various food research institutes. You can work as a sensory scientist to monitor organic properties like aroma, flavour and more. Even companies abroad recruit food technologists to ensure and monitor the quality and hygiene of food products in their contamination and adulteration prevention units.

Hi,
The application of the technical aspects of food or food science to the processing, selection, preservation, packaging and distribution of safe and healthy food is known as food technology. Therefore food technology deals with the study of the physical, chemical and the microbiological aspects of food. But every food technology unit has to follow and abide by regulations set by the government and keep in mind the industry standards before releasing food in the market.
The basic academic qualification required for admission to the undergraduate courses of study in food technology is successful completion of 10+2 school board examinations with Science as your chosen stream of study. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology must be compulsory subjects at the school level. For admission to the postgraduate programs in food technology, you must have a graduation degree in food technology.
