Ringkasan program

Agricultural products must be handled and processed properly once they come off the field, and it's at that point that food and process engineers step in. They address problems related to storage and transport of grain and other agricultural commodities. They are experts in food pasteurization, sterilization, irradiation, freezing, and dehydration, as well as packaging, transportation and storage of perishable agricultural products. Food and process engineers combine design expertise with economical methods of large-scale manufacturing to develop processing methods needed by industry. These engineers also use microbiological processes to produce fermented foods, fuels, biochemicals and pharmaceuticals and to treat municipal, industrial and agricultural wastes. And food and process engineers look for ways to reduce agricultural waste by devising alternatives for treatment, disposal and utilization.
