Food and Bioprocessing
Food and Bioprocessing
The Food and Bioprocessing specialisation will allow you to deepen your knowledge of bioreactors, bio-commodities, pharmaceuticals, food process design, food product creation, food quality, food safety and food industry innovation.
The specialisation explores a range of new and emerging technologies in processing, extraction technologies used in the production of food and bioproducts, and the application of bioprocesses.
You will also learn how to select, adapt, and evaluate food and bioprocessing options.
