Food Technology Overview
About Food Technology
The Department of Food Technology was established in the year 2019 to offer Bachelor of Engineering in Food Technology. We are young, but rapidly growing department with over 60 students. We take great pride in developing future Food Technologists in the cotton city of Coimbatore. Our department proudly houses vibrant, dedicated and motivated faculty members with several specialized sub-disciplines: Food Processed Engineers, Bio Chemists, Food Technologists, Agricultural Engineers and so on., Our activities and mission of the Department falls into three categories: Teaching, Research, and producing Entrepreneurs. Our students are being prepared to be socially responsible leaders in the field of Food Engineering whether it is research and development, graduate study, or practice as Food technologists or Entrepreneurs. The main objective of the Department is to create trained and skilled human resources to cater to the needs of the rapidly growing food processing sector. The department has signed MOU with many Food industries to train the students during the winter and summer internships as well as for Placements.
Vision
To be a leading stream of study, known for its quality education, and to produce graduates who handle major societal issues and solve technical challenges faced by food processing through environmentally safe technologies.
Mission
- To make value addition of agricultural produces by better processing, storage and packaging of food products to ensure food safety of our nation as well as to enhance the GDP of our country.
- To train the food technologists to develop new food products that cater to the needs of society by collaborating with food industries.
- To make continuous efforts for constant up-gradation of technical expertise in the field of food technology
