FOOD AND NUTRACEUTICALS FOR EFFICIENT POST HARVEST MANAGEMENT OF AGRO PRODUCTS

摘要

Food Engineering provides technological knowledge transfer for cost-effective production and commercialization of food products. Over the last few years, CSIR-NEIST has initiated efforts to build an R&D centre to explore the resources of NE India in the line of health food. This endeavour will help to generate jobs for rural people, reduce post-harvest losses and efficient by-products utilization by developing newer and safe technologies in the field of cereal and fruit processing by-products. This would bring a two-fold benefit for the global food industry, viz., sustainable disposal of highly impacting wastes, and generation of value added products. Considering these, an Indo-EU collaborative work was started under the joint call of Department of Biotechnology India- European Commission.
