Food Biotechnology in Human Health and Nutrition

Explore how science transforms the food we eat — and the way we live.

Have you ever wondered how the food you eat affects your health? In this beginner-friendly 3-day Applied Learning Module (ApLM), you’ll discover how food biotechnology helps improve the quality, safety, and nutrition of the foods we consume every day.

You’ll learn how to read food labels, understand the science behind functional foods, and use molecular biology techniques to investigate what goes into our food.

What you’ll learn:

  • Interpret food labels to make informed dietary choices.

  • Apply basic molecular techniques to identify Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).

  • Gain hands-on experience in food preparation processes like yoghurt inoculation.

This module offers a glimpse into the dynamic world of food science, nutrition, and biotechnology — perfect for students curious about health, science, or exploring RP’s Diploma in Biotechnology.
