About Food and Biochemical Engineering

Food and Biochemical Engineering Course 2023 Food technology and biochemical engineering are the two different things or disciplines that are moulded together to fit in the food industry for various processes. A lot of people confuse between food science and food technology and assume them to be the same but they are not. Food science is the study of increasing agricultural production.

Food technology is putting of these advances into practice. Both the food scientists and technologists work in the labs, corporations, or universities, although industrial industries depending on their different roles. They are also the one influencing the nutritional quality of people's diets all around the world. There are various topics under it like biological sciences, humanities, and physical sciences.

Biochemical engineering is a little different as they are more connected with the experiments and investigations. The biochemical engineers who work for the food industry work from the industries and factories. In fact, their work is designed in such a way that they operate in a dangerous setting with a variety of machinery and chemicals.

Food technology and biochemical engineering are very much required in the fields of agriculture and preservation of food. In this era of packaged food dominating the market, these industries play a vital role in it. This course involves the streams like Food Packaging, Processing, Storage, Nutrition Science, Food Manufacturing etc. 

The students who want to be food experts yet do not want to go in the mainstream food business of recipes and cooking can choose this. It involves technology and science, of course.
