Food
Engineering and Bioprocess Technology
This
field of study is focused on the application of bioconversion
in various sectors of industry and agriculture. These include
food processing, aquaculture, environmental engineering, paper
and textile manufacturing, cosmetics and health care. BPT focuses
on the application of microorganism and enzymes to meet the
demands of the
developing countries of the region. FE focuses on the systems
for handling, processing and storage of both durable and perishable
food products in developing of small- scale food processing
technologies. Emphasis is also placed on the determination of
material properties; design and development of new processes
and related equipment; and computer modeling and simulation
of postharvest and food processing operations.
