Department Profile

      Ilahia College of Engineering Technology, Muvattupuha offers a comprehensive undergraduate program B. Tech in Food Technology having an intake of 60 students. The programme develops scientific knowledge and practical skills in producing sustainable, high quality, safe and nutritious food for the global market. As a technologist, it will be involved in all aspects of the food chain from production to the consumer.

      Food technology is a multidisciplinary professional field that interprets the application of mathematical solutions, engineering principles and food matrices to food manufacturing and operations, including food product processing, production, handling, storage, conservation, control, packaging and distribution. Food Technology also incorporates the study of specialized chemicals and physical topics including biochemistry, microbiology, food chemistry, thermodynamics, transport phenomena, rheology, and heat and mass transfer etc as it deals with complex food components. The degree programs are established to inculcate the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of food materials and unit operation involved in processing them. The students are trained in the areas of post-harvest technology of food crops, processing, preservation, packaging and value addition to food for complete food supply management from farm to fork. The course is structured to impart knowledge to students in the latest innovative technologies in the field of food process engineering like food production, handling of perishables, packaging technology, diary, meat and fish processing technologies.

      We have established Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with various food leading industries and consultancy services. The department offer hands on workshop and training through first established industrial park with specialization in food processing.
