Doctor of Philosophy (Food Technology)
A Food Technologist is an integral part of new research and development in the cutting edge technologies of food processing. Research in the field of Food Technology lies in the fact that it has the capability and creditability to provide more food through appropriate scientific conservation, eliminating avoidable losses and making available more nutritious food, and high value products from low grade raw materials by processing, packaging, transport, marketing and also by-products and waste utilization using an integral approach. Research is in process for the development of techniques to produce value added products assuring the greater financial returns and generating employment opportunities which in turn will provide a greater potential to revival in national economy in general and rural economy in particular. As deep as we go into the dimensions of Food Technology, we require scientists in this field which h led to the emergence of Doctoral Research in Food Technology. The Doctoral program in Food Technology was started here in the year 2018 and research is on in the varied field of food processing and technology.
