    Course Overview

    Thermal Operations in Food Process Engineering: Theory and Applications certification is a 12 weeks course that is provided on the Swayam platform by NPTEL and IIT Kharagpur. This course caters to engineering students from all backgrounds. This covers the fundamentals of processing and preservation technologies that are needed for food processing in different industries.

    Thermal Operations in Food Process Engineering: Theory and Applications training provides knowledge about thermal processing that is associated with the unit operations of the different stages in processing. Usually, the concepts in thermal operations are not taught elaborately when the candidates are students of engineering. But through this course, the students will get accustomed to the comprehensive knowledge of thermal processing. The certificate is guaranteed once the candidates successfully attend, and gain 75% during the invigilator marked exam.
