Why Food Technology?


   As we know that food, shelter and clothing are the basic needs of human beings for survival. Among these foods provided energy to the body for daily activities and growth, so that we cannot live without food. But if you eat a proper, safe, and nutritious food then it will give you more energy, and for that purpose food technology is arise. 
 Food technology is a broad discipline in which we get knowledge of food science, processing, preservation, microbiology, chemistry, engineering, selection, handling and distribution of food, food safety, storage, packaging, etc. 
 
What is food? 
  Food is an any substance eaten and drink by human beings which consists nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamin) and nourishes activities of body for growths by providing energy. 
 
Background
  Once upon a time most of the interested students deprive to obtain knowledge in this food technology stream due to the lack of universities or colleges offered curriculum of this discipline. Nowadays there are many universities or colleges offering various undergraduate, postgraduate, Ph.D, diploma and certificate courses which create huge scope and curiosity.

  Now students may confuse due to same name of disciplines, for them I suggest an example “if you want to travel from Pune to Mumbai then you have so many ways either go by road, train or air”. In short the routes are optional but destination is the same.
