What is Food Technology…?

• Food Technology is a branch which integrates Food Science and Food Engineering subjects, and constitutes a set of methods and techniques to transform raw ingredients into processed foods.

• Food Technology is not a cookery course like Home Science or Hotel Management.

• But deals with Food Chemistry, Food Microbiology, Biotechnology, Human Nutrition, Plant Science, Animal Science, Packaging and Marketing.

• It also deals with Engineering Subjects like Fluid Mechanics, Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer, Unit Operations, Process Equipment Design & Drawing, Biochemical Engineering, Process Optimizations and Engineering Mathematics.

Why Food Technology…?

India is one of the major food producers in the world.

In terms of world ranking, India stands : 1st in the production of Cereals, Milk & Livestock population 2nd in producing Fruits & Vegetables

Among top 5 in producing Rice, Wheat, Groundnuts, Tea, Coffee, Tobacco, Spices, Sugar & Oilseeds

Despite being a major food producer, India’s share in world food trade is less than 2%.

The level of processing in India is extremely low at around 6% compared to 60-80% in developed countries and over 30% even in most other Asian countries.

Why Food Technology…? Contd

There is clearly very high wastage (about 30% post harvest losses) and very low value addition in our country, with corresponding loss of business opportunities as well as loss in farm income.

Need for preservation of food through processing (Decrease of cultivated land and increase in population)

The market for processed food is growing very fast. There are about 300 million upper and middle class consumers of processed and packaged food in the country, and another 200 million were likely to be added.

The food processing industry is coming of age, ranked fifth among industries of India. Five hundred food parks are planned all over the country.

With such a scenario, there will be absolutely no problem of employment for qualified food technologists in future in our country.

Opportunities…?Food Processing Industry is a sun rise industry with very good job prospects in

India and abroad.
