Hello Anly Santhosh

Food Science

Food science is the branch of applied sciences that combines the fundamentals of biochemistry, physical sciences and chemical engineering to study the physical, chemical and biological nature of food items. In simple words, food science (or food technology) deals with the manufacturing, processing, treatment, preservation, and distribution of food.

Food Science, Food Technology & Food Engineering

Though Food Science Food Engineering and Food Technology are very overlapping, there are few subtle differences. 

Food Technology: Fire can be used to cook food.

Food Science: Burning wood produces heat, water, and carbon dioxide. Heat denatures proteins in food.

Food Engineering: Building a fireplace and chimney makes it easier to cook with fire without filling the room with smoke.

I think that a food technology or Food science or food engineering are the good course. There is a good future in food technology or science
