Basically
am food technologist and am currently doing my final year post graduate.. Actually
I wanted to tell u something.. Do u know who is food technologist? .. U all
strongly believe that the word food always relates to catering!! But if u
understand in that way then please study from the first standard again for
better language skill.. And one more, when u see the word technology does it
say just a process of cooking?!! If so then again you are proving your weak language..
Catering is completely different from food technology.. Catering is the process
of making foods..But the food technology is all about the mechanisms behind the
process which answers why what how in a technical manner.. (For example the
stability of the foam when egg is whipped is due to protein content..Whereas
water foam is not stable because of no protein) then the equipments used and
also the designing of equipments (mass transfer, heat transfer, thermodynamics)
according to the capacity for large scale and small scale industry level..
Many
say food technology as an interesting course because everyone knows it as they
cook even at home.. But you are absolutely wrong.. As the theories can be
applied in our everyday practical life, I say it as an interesting subject..
A mechanical
engineer is called as mechanical engineer.. An electrical student is called as
electrical engineer..Information technology student is called as software
engineer.. Computer science student is a hardware engineer.. Marine engineering
student is called as marine engineer.. But why not food engineering student as
food engineer and food technology student as food technologist?! North India
and other parts of world has some knowledge about the food technologists..but
its importance is lacking in South..
Think!!!
Foods for the future are preserved by us.. space foods are created by us..
ready-to-eat, ready-to-serve foods are been processed by us.. and many more can
be listed here..food is the necessary part of our life more than anything.. so
create awareness!! FOOD TECHNOLOGISTS AND FOOD ENGINEERS ARE ALSO ONE OF THE
LEADING ENGINEERS AND TECHNOLOGISTS!!!
