Master Program on Estate Crop Product Technology

  • Introduction

    Innovation on New Product and Process Development is essential in the food and non-food industries. New product trends in the food industry are functional food, nutraceutical food, aroma, and flavor. For non-food product industries, they are renewable energy and polymers as intermediate products. In addition, the improvement of product quality and stability can be performed by the development of nano- and microencapsulated technologies.

    The development of new products must be followed by developing and designing innovative processes and scale-up of production processes. Trends in process development include Green Technology and more efficient process designs. Besides, the requirements of hygienic standards (sanitation), food quality, process control, and automation are very important in designing processes in the food industry to obtain high-quality products.

    In line with trends in product development, estate crop products contain many components as a source of functional food, nutraceutical food, aroma, and flavor. However, they have not been intensively explored and developed yet. In addition, most small and medium industries do not have a strong R&D department yet. This condition can hinder the development of innovative products and processes. The concept of Master Program on Estate Crop Product Technology, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) offers an alternative as R&D and product innovation department for the industry. It can be realized by developing new innovative products and processes and improving existing industrial process designs.

    The Master Program on Estate Crop Products Technology UGM offers a postgraduate program by course and by research. Student competencies are especially in developing new innovative products and processes and process designs.
