1. Introduction to Food Science & Technology

Food Science and Technology is the study and application of science to understand, process, preserve, package, and improve food. It involves subjects such as chemistry, microbiology, nutrition, and engineering to ensure that food is safe, nutritious, tasty, and of good quality. It also helps increase shelf life, reduce food waste, and develop new food products.
