Food bioscience and technology is a study for developing and producing various foods and products made of biomaterials and evaluating their safety and functions based on basic science such as physical chemistry, biology, chemistry, microbiology and molecular biology and process theories like engineering mathematics, unit manipulation and chemical engineering.

Our research and education also includes biotechnology, probiotics, functional food, muscle food and processing engineering to develop food and biomaterials, as well as food toxicology, food preservation and food packaging to guarantee food safety. We also deal with nutritional genes, proteins and metabolism to approach these materials and their functions from the holistic view of systems biology.

We currently operate seven related labs. Most of our students serve as pillars for active cooperation between research and the industry, working as professionals in food and bio-related large companies, affiliated research institutes and public agencies.
