Unit Operations in Food Processing refers to the series of fundamental physical and mechanical processes involved in transforming raw food materials into safe, stable, and consumable products. These operations include activities such as cleaning, sorting, mixing, heating, cooling, drying, and packaging, each designed to achieve specific changes without altering the essential composition of the food. The topic emphasizes the importance of understanding how these processes work individually and collectively to improve food quality, extend shelf life, ensure safety, and enhance efficiency in production systems. Course objectives include enabling learners to understand the principles underlying common unit operations, identify and describe their applications in different food processes, analyze their effects on food quality and preservation, and develop the ability to apply these operations effectively in food processing and industrial settings.
This lecture is part of FST-306 UNIT OPERATIONS IN FOOD PROCESSING in the Food Science and Technology department. The course has 30 recorded lectures across 10 series, all free to watch. Read or download the FST-306 lecture note to study alongside the video.
