food engineering

Food engineering is the application of engineering principles to the production, processing, packaging, and preservation of food. It combines knowledge from various fields like chemistry, biology, and mechanical engineering to improve food quality, safety, and sustainability. Food engineers design processes and equipment for mass production, ensure that products meet health standards, and develop new food products. Their work supports efficient supply chains and helps address issues like food waste and nutrition, ultimately aiming to provide safe, nutritious, and affordable food to consumers.
