Food Technology
Food technology has responded to the industrial demands by developing new methods for the processing, preserving and packaging of food stuffs and evaluation of their nutritional value. The different areas of specialisation in this sector are in food processing, preservation science, packaging technology, quality management, storage studies, transportation, hygiene and sanitation, waste management etc.
Job Market:
A qualified food technologist can find suitable employment in food processing companies, R & D laboratories, hotels, hospitals, processed food exporting companies, slaughter houses, poultry and dairy farms, sugar mills etc. Eligibility: A background in science is a necessary pre-requisite for entry in this field. The aspirant who has passed the +2 level in the science stream can take up a 4 year degree course in Food Technology. For post graduation in Food Science & Technology (FST) or allied subjects, the candidate should have a university degree in Chemistry/Biochemistry/Microbiology.
Food Craft Institutes and Hotel Management Institutes conduct 1 year's full time diploma courses in bakery and confectionery, canning and food preservation. The Department of Chemical Technology, Mumbai and IIT, Kharagpur offer engineering oriented programmes that focus on the design and manufacture of processing equipments and on the science of preserving foods. The programme offered by Delhi University and SNDT Women's University, Mumbai are more focussed on catering and food production.
