The staff of the Department for Food Engineering teach at all undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate study programmes at the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, and some staff members are also engaged in teaching at other field related faculties of Croatian universities. The scientific activities of the Department take place through a number of research projects aimed at improving and developing new processes and technologies for the production of various food products, in particular functional foods. Research has been focused on the development and application of non-thermal processing techniques - cold plasma, pulsed electric field, ultrasonic processes, high hydrostatic pressure, tribomechanical micronization, membrane processes, low temperature (freezing), extrusion and modern thermal techniques - microwaves as well as other procedures improving the quality of the existing and developing new food products. The subject of research is also the processing of by-products and waste of the food industry. Research has also been carried out in the field of milk and dairy products technology, meat, fish, poultry, confectionery products, oils, fats, fruits and vegetables, wines, spirits, water, bakery and other products. In addition to this, important research is being conducted in the field of processing of technological and wastewater of food and other related industries. In all the research, state-of-the-art process monitoring and product quality assurance methods are used. The Department uses its own semi-industrial practice laboratory, and a central chemical and instrumental laboratory with all the necessary equipment for its research. In addition to scientific activities, the Department has developed significant cooperation with the food industry to solve various processing problems, develop new processes and products, as well as create technological designs for the processing and manufacture of various products.
