Food Technology roadmap

Food chemistry, processing, safety and preservation.

Start with Food Science Foundations, follow the steps in order, then build a project, prepare for interviews and earn your certificate.

Foundations

1. Food Science Foundations — What food is made of — and what changes it. Food composition and energy, reaction kinetics, food chemistry reactions and the microbiology of spoilage, pathogens and fermentation.
2. Food Process Engineering — Heat, concentrate, separate. Heat exchangers, thermal processing with D, z and F₀, and the unit operations of food plants from evaporators to CIP.

Core skills

1. Preservation & Storage — Keep it safe, keep it fresh. Refrigeration, drying, freezing, water activity, hurdle technology and post-harvest storage.

Advanced

1. Safety, Quality & Packaging — Every pack safe, every time. Quality statistics, HACCP and food safety management, packaging materials and shelf-life engineering.
2. Product Development — From idea to shelf. Formulation, sensory evaluation, nutrition labelling, costing and scale-up of new food products.
