Sustainable Food Processing

This subject will cover the application of chemical engineering principles to modern food processing and packaging. Students will develop a broad understanding of the nature of food components and the principles underlying their processing. The importance of sustainability principles in food manufacture will be a key focus, as the industry adapts to the challenges of climate change and limited water resources. The subject will allow students to learn how to apply chemical and bioprocess engineering knowledge in the design and implementation of important industrial food processes with minimal environmental footprint. The principles and technical knowledge developed in this subject are central to chemical engineers working in the food industry.
