M.Sc Food Technology

It's a 2-year programme in which you go in-depth into how food works — from what it's made of (Food Chemistry) to how it's processed, preserved, and made safe to consume (Microbiology, Processing, and Preservation techniques).

You'll learn about:

How nutrients affect health

How food is designed and packaged

How regulations like FSSAI determine what appears on shelves

How cereals, dairy, meat, fruits, and vegetables get converted into common products

Later semesters provide you with hands-on experience via internships, laboratory work, and an end-of-degree research project. You'll also study functional foods, food safety schemes (such as HACCP), biotechnology, and the changing food industry.
