March |May |October 3 Year MYR 29,100 Degree

WHAT CAN I LEARN?

This program covers the changes food compositions undergo during storage and processing by applying research on the pure science subjects, such as chemistry, biochemistry, nutrition, biology and microbiology to the study of the nature, properties and composition of foods. You will be given a chance to explore a variety of areas in the functional food leading to healthy and vibrant lifestyle. Furthermore this course prepare you with the advanced laboratory skills and current skills in food sciences including practicing current safety standards, leading to a career as a professional in the food science sector.

WHAT IS FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY?

Food science draws from many disciplines such as biology, chemical engineering, and biochemistry in an attempt to better understand food processes and ultimately improve food products for the general public. Food scientists study the physical, microbiological, and chemical makeup of food. By applying their findings, they are responsible for developing the safe, nutritious foods and innovative packaging that line supermarket shelves everywhere. The food you consume on a daily basis is the result of extensive food research, a systematic investigation into a variety of foods’ properties and compositions.
