Food and Packaging Technology

Bioprocess engineering also, biochemical engineering deals with the design and development of equipment used in industries for various food processing techniques. It is a conglomerate of biology, mathematics and industrial design.  It aims in obtaining high yield of end products with better quality. It includes Bioprocess engineering is a specialisation of chemical engineering; it deals with the design and development of equipment and processes for the manufacturing of products such as agriculture, food, feed, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, chemicals and polymers and paper from biological material and treatment of waste water. Expertise in this field is a combination of knowledge in biotechnology and engineering. Bioprocess engineers develop concept technologies in the bioprocess space – anything that takes into account producing a product from biological material such as yeast, fungi, bacteria, algae, viruses, mammalian cells or any type of biological single cell process.
