Food Processing and Food Engineering

Food processing is the transformation of agricultural products into nourishing food or one form of food into another form. Food products change under certain food processing techniques and ways either to improve or to prevent them from happening.

Food engineering is an interdisciplinary ground which associates microbiology, applied physical sciences, chemistry and engineering for food and associated productions. It also includes the application of agricultural, mechanical and chemical engineering principles to food materials. Food processing is the conversion of agricultural products into food or of one form of food into other forms. Food processing comprises various forms of processing foods, from grinding grain to make raw flour to home cooking to complex industrial methods used to make convenience foods.
