The primary aim of the book Food Technology: Objective Food Chemistry and Nutrition is to offer a comprehensive and simplified understanding of the fundamental concepts of Food Chemistry & Nutrition to students studying Food Technology. It comprises 09 chapters, each containing concise notes and multiple-choice questions on various topics such as Carbohydrates, dietary fiber, starch, proteins, lipids, pigments, food flavors, enzymes, nutrition, balanced diets, essential amino acids and essential fatty acids, protein efficiency ratio, water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, minerals role in nutrition, co-factors, anti-nutrients, nutraceuticals, and nutrient deficiency diseases. Additionally, it covers chemical and biochemical changes that occur in food during various processing methods.This book is particularly beneficial for students preparing for higher studies or appearing in competitive examinations, such as GATE/NET/ARS/FSSAI, among others. It is also useful for students pursuing Food Processing, Dairy and Food Engineering, Food Science and Technology, Process and Food Engineering, Food Technology, Dairy Science and Technology, Post-Harvest Engineering and Technology, Agricultural Structure and Process Engineering, Horticulture (specialized in Post-Harvest Technology), and Home Science (Food and Nutrition), among other fields. Furthermore, it is helpful for those preparing for competitive examinations, such as ICAR/CSIR/UGC fellowships, NET, ARS, SRF, JRF, and for written exams and interviews for RA/SRF/SMS/Assistant Professor, Food Safety officers, Food inspectors, Public analysts, and national and multinational food process industries, among others.

The primary goal of Objective Food Technology: Food Microbiology is to offer a comprehensive and accessible understanding of the fundamental concepts of food microbiology to students pursuing a degree in food technology. This book encompasses six chapters that cover essential topics on the syllabus, such as the characteristics of microorganisms, microbial growth kinetics, serial dilution technique, food spoilage, and toxins from microbes, including Staphylococcus, Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia, Bacillus, Clostridium, and Aspergillus genera. Additionally, the book provides valuable information on fermented foods and beverages, making it an ideal resource for students preparing for competitive examinations such as GATE, NET, ARS, and FSSAI. This book is also beneficial for students pursuing higher studies or those preparing for competitive examinations such as ICAR, CSIR, UGC fellowships, NET, ARS, SRF, JRF, RA, SRF, SMS, Assistant Professor, Food Safety officers, Food inspectors, Public analysts, and national and multinational food process industries.
