HOD DESK

Food Technology at DSCE was established in 2019 with an initial intake of 60 students. The department was established with a vision to be a Centre of Excellence in academics, research, outreach services and to produce highly skilled food science professionals. Food technology is the application of food science to the selection, preservation, processing, packaging, distribution, and use of safe food. Related fields include analytical chemistry, biotechnology, engineering, nutrition, quality control, and food safety management. The field also involves techniques and processes that are used to transform raw materials into food. Extensive research goes behind making food items edible as well as nutritious.

As deep as we go into the dimensions of food technology, we require professionals in this field. This has led to the emergence of food technology courses. There are a plethora of opportunities for students who wish to pursue a course in food technology. Graduates or postgraduates in the course can seek jobs in different domains such as restaurants, catering establishments, hospitals, food processing companies, etc. The department in the future aims to impart training to rural youth to make them self sustainable. The Department offers conductive environment of interesting learning, essential training component in cutting edge food technologies, individualized mentoring by professionally acclaimed mentors, devoted and experienced faculty.
