About this programme
Modern food processing is concerned with the transformation of plant-based and animal-based raw materials into value-added, safe and stable food or nutrient formulas. The Master's programme in Food Science and Technology is research-oriented and focuses on the interface between complex food matrices and technical processes in the development and production of food. In this programme, you will acquire expertise regarding the equipment and processes involved in the processing of food, combined with a thorough understanding of the biogenesis of raw materials and their microbiological ecology. You will learn to develop appropriate food formulas and processing techniques that allow for product-specific processing conditions in automated production processes using in-line sensor technology. The core of the programme consists of the development of new technologies for the production of food products that meet both consumer expectations and individual nutritional requirements, i.e. the transfer of basic research concepts into new technological approaches.
