Applied Chemistry-II focuses more on the importance of chemistry in the food, beverage and related
industries. The raw materials and precursors in industries are transformed into finished commercial
products, viz. packaged foods, snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as dairy and
meat products involving various chemical principles (trough biological or direct chemical means).
This unit is intended to impart basic knowledge of the underlying chemical processes and methods in
the development, optimization, monitoring and preservation of foods, beverages and related products
in industries. It also imparts knowledge on how products charasteristics get changed under certain
processing conditions and ways to enhance the desired characteristics or to prevent undesired
changes from happening. With growing awareness about food safety and quality concerns among
consumers and importance for quality control and quality assurance in the food and beverage
industry, an increasing number of job opportunities for laboratory technicians arise in this
field.
