Food Engineering: Key Component of Food Quality & Safety

Food engineering, food chemistry, and food microbiology are the three disciplinary pillars governing the processing of value-added food products. Working together, these disciplines are capable of revolutionizing our current food system. Indeed, it is difficult to conceive of a food-related issue without consideration of all three fields.

Our focus is on food engineering, which is the application of physics to food systems and the physical attributes of food products. Food engineers have helped d…
