The department of food science and technology started in the year 2019 with the earnest desire to meet the demands of an upcoming branch in the field of food sciences. Food Science is the discipline in which biology, physical science, and engineering sciences are used to study the nature of foods, the causes of their deterioration, and the principles underlying food processing. Food Technology is the application of food science to the selection, preservation, processing, packaging, distribution and use of safe, wholesome and nutritious food. The food technologists study the chemical, physical and microbiological makeup of the food. The department is open to continuous ideas in research and establishing an environment to make the best use of the knowledge of foods and food products and minimizing wastage. The students are actively involved in academic interactions by attending scientific sessions and are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities. The department association ‘Food miles’ through its activities enables the students of the department and students of inter-disciplinary branches to gain insight and knowledge in the area of food science.
Vision
