Course Description​

Are you interested in learning about the science of food? Do you want to know how food is produced, processed, and preserved? If so, then the Food Science Diploma is the course for you! In this course, you will learn about the basic principles of food science, including food chemistry, microbiology, and engineering. You will also learn about the different methods of food preservation and processing, as well as the factors that affect food quality.

Beginning with an introductory foray into the marvels of food science, learners will soon be ushered into the intricate dance of food quality. How does one measure the taste, texture, or appearance of food? What microorganisms make our yoghurt tangy and our bread fluffy? As you proceed, the mysteries of food deterioration unfold, offering vital knowledge to combat food waste. Moreover, with rising concerns over food safety, you’ll become adept at the arts of preservation, processing, and the subtleties of packaging, ensuring that what we eat is not only delicious but safe and sustainable.

From unearthing the nuances of food microbiology to standing at the frontier of food engineering and technology, every section is a step closer to understanding the food we love so dearly. It’s not just a course; it’s an invitation to a feast of knowledge curated for curious minds and hungry hearts.
