What you study
The degree provides knowledge and tools in food technology, designed for planning and producing food products, from the raw-material stage through to consumption of the finished product: evaluating the quality of agricultural produce and raw materials, identifying raw materials, production processes, quality assurance, nutritional assessment, hygiene and sanitation, storage, design, preservation, and packaging, among other areas. Courses in the degree include basic courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics, as well as advanced courses in biochemistry, genetics, and microbiology, food analysis, food chemistry and biochemistry, and more.
