About
the program

Biotechnology is a globally expanding area of studies associated with both research and production. Food Biotechnology is a branch of food science that applies modern biotechnological methods

Food biotechnology is an essential part of biotechnology aimed at developing new varieties of food involving biological systems in their processing. Numerous biotechnological processes used to create and improve new foods and beverages include fermentation, supplements, plant and animal cultures, and genetically modified foods.

Special attention is paid to the use of specific equipment for studying properties of microorganisms and cell cultures produced using various substances in laboratory and industry, training in engineering calculations of apparatus and equipment used in foods and supplements production, biocatalysis and biocatalytic technologies and methods for quality control of raw materials, half-finished and final products.

Another focus of the program is in-depth studying of such biotechnological processes as manufacturing of beer, low-alcohol drinks and dairy, as well as supplements and conversion of plant raw materials.
