The BTech Food Post-Harvest Technology programme is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to minimize post-harvest losses and maximize the quality and safety of food products in Ghana and beyond. This programme focuses on the science and technology involved in handling, processing, preserving, and distributing food after it has been harvested. Students will learn about the factors that contribute to post-harvest losses, such as microbial spoilage, insect infestation, and physical damage, and will be trained in the application of appropriate technologies and strategies to prevent or mitigate these losses. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including food chemistry, food microbiology, post-harvest physiology, food processing and preservation techniques, food packaging, and food safety. The programme also emphasizes sustainable practices and value addition to agricultural produce to enhance food security and economic development.
