Department of Green Technologies in Food Production and Processing
Using green technologies in food processing means applying advanced and sustainable technologies to improve the quality, safety, and nutritional value of food, while reducing negative environmental impacts.
This department aims to become a pioneer in research and development of green technologies in the food industry in order to reduce environmental impacts and promote sustainability in the food supply chain.
In addition, it conducts research on the development of new and sustainable technologies in food production and processing with the aim of reducing resource consumption and waste and preserving the environment.
Research Areas:
- - Developing production processes with less energy and water consumption;
- - Conducting research on biodegradable packaging and reducing plastic use;
- - Providing solutions to reduce food waste throughout the supply chain;
- - Promoting the use of renewable resources in the food industry;
- - Using non-thermal technologies in food processing.
