Food Technology is a science branch that deals with the techniques involved in the production, processing, preservation, packaging, labeling, quality management, and distribution of food products. The field also involves techniques and processes that are used to transform raw materials into food.

As a food technologist, your primary responsibility is to ensure that food products are safe and meet specific standards. It’s likely you’ll also be involved in developing the manufacturing processes and recipes of food and drink products.

To become a food technologist you usually need to have completed a bachelor degree in science with a major in food science and technology or nutrition from any institute conducting respective courses. After having passed their graduation and having some of the positions, they can go for further Masters Degrees

Food Technology program lasts for 3 to 5 years depending on entry qualification.
