Course Overview

The course is about food process engineering and its process of preservation, saltation, and other processes to save food from bacteria. The course also makes the students learn how the food is processed and manufactured. It involves a particular means of technology to make the process complete in a proper manner. Therefore, students will also gain industrial applications that can be helpful in the workplace

Food process engineering is helpful to the candidate for using technology in terms of manufacturing foodies and their preservatives. As everyone needs food to survive there is a need to know the processing of food and the manufacturing process. The processing of food technology is laterally known to the candidate in the academy itself. Therefore, the candidate is gaining practical skills with learning the course

The course is introduced by Swayam academy, an online certified learning course initiated by the government to make a favour for the poor candidates who cannot afford to study in the institutes. The course certificate is equivalent to the institute certificate. The course is offered to learn for free of cost without the certificate. The certificate helps the candidate to increase their value during the hiring process
