The Department of Food Processing and Engineering was established in 2009 and has been a leader in contributing to the development and use of techniques for post-harvest handling, storage processing and preservation of animal and plant-based food product, food quality and safety on a farm as well as on an industrial level through excellence in teaching, research, and extension. The mission is to produce graduates who are well equipped with knowledge and skills that are required to undertake a variety of responsibilities in the area of post-harvest technology, food processing, food preservation and engineering. This department offers 35 credits (12 theory + 12 practical) in undergraduate level and also provides M.Sc. (1.5 years) degree in Food Processing and Engineering.

 

Aims and objectives

  1.  Develop the skills of students need to thrive with technology and systems used in manufacturing, preservation, storage and distribution of food products. 
  2. Build up a better understanding about food processing and preservation with a systematic investigation into a variety of foods properties to improve food products.
  3. Develop expertise to ensure the safety and quality food during the processing. 
  4. Strengthen the engineering background to solve problems associated with food processing industries as well as other post-harvest operations of raw materials.

Associate Professor and Head
Department of Food Processing and Engineering



You are cordially welcome to read and to know more about the Department of Food Processing and Engineering. As a head of the department, I would like to lay out the welcome-mat for the pupils to apex their carrier in the respective strain of life. Our academic staff members are well trained and experienced in a wide variety of relevant disciplines. We participate not only in teaching, but also in research, consultancy and outreach programmes.

We welcome applications for admission into our M.S. in Food Processing and Engineering. We are always ready to receive research ideas as well as requests for collaboration in research from industry, community groups and other stakeholders. Our staff members are also well versed in consultancy work and the department is therefore ready to offer consultancy services.

I feel a great sense of both excitement and responsibility in leading this department, for the fact, it has pivotal issues such as energy, new products development, food safety and quality assurance, healthcare and manufacturing. We cordially invite the students who wish to be admitted in our department for undergraduate and post- graduate program.

Please feel free to contact the Head of the Department for any information.

 

Best wishes

Dr. Jakia Sultana Jothi
