Where food processing is involved, understanding only one branch of science is not enough Scientists and engineers with knowledge of the different fieldsÂ
This definition requires food engineering to have a broader science base which includes biophysical, biochemical and health sciences, in addition to engineeringÂ
The food engineering curriculum provides a strong foundation in mathematical and physical, biological and food sciences, chemical and mechanical engineering
1 6 2 Water activity, definition and determination included in most food science, engineering and technology curricula
Institute of Food Science and Technology, and the Society of Chemical Industry All these organisations following definition of food engineering is proposed2:
ERA-Net SUSFOOD definition of sustainability in the food area A food Food science and process engineering is involved in all of these three main challenges
