What will I learn?

The food production network is a very complex system in which the risk of hazards from foods is real. Therefore, the use and application of higher technical expertise is necessary in the food industry. The food industry is now adopting the farm-to-table food safety approach. There is an increased need for experts in food safety who are able to carry out monitoring and evaluation of microbiological, chemical and physical parameters for product safety. Studies in this field equip students with the relevant theories and technical knowledge to conduct research in the area of food safety. The student will be able to understand in more detail issues that include pathogen, chemical hazards, and GMO related to food safety. Students will be exposed to the latest information related to the status, determination and effect of processing, as well as the application of HACCP quality management and risk assessment of specific foods.
