🌟 This month, students participated in the intensive practical block for Process Engineering and Advanced Technologies, gaining hands-on experience in Mechanical Process Engineering.

Based on our recent lab sessions, students focused on the complex science of emulsification and homogenization. Working with industrial-grade equipment, they performed the following:

• Stabilized System Preparation: Students prepared precise solutions using surfactants such as Tween 80 to investigate how surface-active agents influence interfacial tension and emulsion stability.
• Mechanical Processing: Utilizing high-duty mixing and homogenization equipment, the cohort explored how mechanical energy affects the particle size and structure of liquid food systems.
• Technical Documentation: Precision is key in research; students meticulously documented preparation ratios and process parameters to evaluate the “process-oriented understanding” of food production.

These practical’s empower students to design and implement engineering concepts that prioritize safety, energy efficiency, and sustainability, the three pillars of the future food industry.
