Food Biotechnology

About

The interdisciplinary and research-oriented Master's programme in Food Biotechnology is concerned with the properties, the production processes and the manifold applications of enzymes and microorganisms in the food industry, in its supplying industries and for bioanalytical purposes. Microorganisms are especially good producers of enzymes and can be cultivated in bioreactors under controlled, safe and standardised conditions. In this programme, students explore enzymatic production processes. Biochemical methods, including the purification, characterisation and immobilisation of enzymes, enzyme kinetics, gene expression and the mutagenesis of recombinant enzymes, find their application here. A thorough understanding of pathogens and the importance of hygiene in food production is essential for utilising microorganisms and enzymes in the life science industry. The combination of innovation and safe processing is at the core of this programme.
