Food Engineering is the field where the science and engineering principles are used to process the food, preservation of food and storing of food in order to improve it’s quality, taste, smell, texture to add value to the product.
So, Food Engineering is all about
Food Processing: Here, it deals with the different techniques and process to make some seasonal foods throughout the year, to make different flavored foods, different products from same raw product………eg: we can get curd, ghee, lassi basundi, kova, ice cream channa, chakka, kheer and so many other sweets from MILK by different processing techniques like freezing, homogenization, coagualtion, heat coagulation and etc. By food Engineering, we can add or remove nutrients as per our requirements i.e, we can alter the food nutrients like, There are people who are suffering from Diabetics, they need special food with less starch, we can make this through Food Engineering Principles, One more the nutrients needed by children, infant and pragnents can be provided by Food Engineering Principles. In this Food Engineering plays key role.
