In the current era of modern technologies and social media, a surge of fake news and misconceptions about food, health, diseases, and other important areas of human life is quite prevalent. Even an educated person can inadvertently fall victim to fake news propaganda if s/he does not have sufficient scientific knowledge. In this multidisciplinary course, students will learn fundamental sciences and modern technologies that will not only equip them against any unscientific myth but also will ensure the safe and secure supply of food to consumers. Students will also apply fundamental and integrated concepts of engineering, biological and physical sciences to understand the nature of food, causes of food deterioration, principles underlying food processing, and improvement of food. This course is designed for everyone who is involved in any domestic and commercial aspect of food such as production, preparation, cooking, processing, handling, and of course consumption.
