OVERVIEW

Meeting the future food demand will be a great challenge to all concerned. Food process engineering seeks to address this issue. Sustainable, safe food supply is the top priority for all the food scientists today. This department was extended as a full-fledged department in 1998 to focus on the above-said target. The research in this department is focused on preservation and processing of grains, fruits and vegetables, development of new products, value added products, etc. The various courses offered by the department ignite the minds of students and guide them to consider a leading career in the food-processing sector, which increases the standard of living of our farmers (producers), and reduces the post-harvest losses, which range from 40% to 90%.

My time at SHUATS during my M. Tech. in Food Safety laid a strong foundation for my academic and research career. The faculty's dedication, practical exposure, and interdisciplinary approach at SHUATS were instrumental in shaping my scientific perspective. It not only helped me pursue advanced degrees internationally but also inspired me to contribute toward sustainable innovations in food packaging. SHUATS continues to be a pivotal part of my journey, and I remain grateful for the academic excellence and values it instilled in me.

My journey at SHUATS has been nothing short of transformational. From the moment I stepped onto campus as a B.Tech student in Biotechnology in 2007, to completing my M.Tech in Food Process and Engineering in 2009, SHUATS laid the foundation for the leader I am today. The university not only provided me with a strong academic background but also helped me grow personally and professionally. The professors at SHUATS were incredibly supportive — always approachable, encouraging, and deeply invested in our development. I’m proud to be an alumnus of SHUATS.
