This field of study emphasises on the application of engineering principles and practices for post harvest operations, preservations and processing of agricultural and bioresource materials processes so that they are efficiently utilized and losses are minimized. The area covers primary processing, preservation and storage of major agricultural commodities such as grains, oil palm, cocoa, fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbal materials through designing, developing and applying chemical and physical unit operations such as separation, extraction, purification, extrusion, drying, packaging, milling, heating and refrigeration. Emphasis is also given on the utilization of agricultural/biological materials to develop new bio-based raw materials for food, neutraceutical and manufacturing materials.
