The School of Food Science of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University has a long history and is the birthplace of food science research in our province. Since the 1950s, it has trained thousands of high-level and high-level food science talents, many of whom have Become an academic leader in the food science community, a well-known scholar and an outstanding entrepreneur in the food processing industry at home and abroad. Food science research in our school also started early. Research on food science was carried out in the late 1950s. The Institute of Food Science and Technology was established in 1986. In 2000, the "Processing and Storage of Agricultural Products" discipline of our school was listed as one of the provincial "211 "The key discipline marks that the agricultural product processing and storage discipline of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University has entered a new period of rapid development. Relying on the comprehensive advantages of the disciplines, the college highlights the characteristics of subtropical agricultural products, and actively promotes and promotes the development of related application technologies, such as agricultural product deep processing technology, agricultural product storage and transportation technology, food biochemical technology, food hygiene inspection technology, and food quality control technology. At the same time as the results have been achieved, a lot of useful work has been done to adjust the agricultural industry structure, promote agricultural industrialization, improve agricultural industry efficiency, and increase farmers' income, which has produced high social and economic benefits.
Our college currently has two master’s programs in food science and agricultural product processing and storage, and is a provincial “211” key discipline in agricultural product processing and storage. At present, while strengthening the construction of original disciplines, the college is actively promoting the intersection and integration of various disciplines to form a new situation of comprehensive multi-disciplinary development. In the new century, under the new situation, in order to adapt to the large demand for food science and technology talents in the market, under the guidance of the provincial government, the Provincial Education Commission specially approved our college to open the "Storage, Transportation and Processing of Agricultural Products" adult and self-study junior college courses, focusing on cultivating food science and technology talents. Bioscience engineering, functional health food and other food high-tech talents that are urgently needed by the society.
Currently, our college’s first adult examination and self-study college entrance examination classes have begun to register. We hope that knowledgeable people, young people and students who have a desire for knowledge and want to experience university life will register as soon as possible. Our school will always be open to the vast number of knowledge seekers. open.
The School of Food Science of Jiangnan Agriculture and Forestry University was established in April 2001. It was formerly the Food Engineering Department of the former Fujian Agricultural College which was reestablished in 1985 (the Food Processing Major was established in the Horticulture Department of the former Fujian Agricultural College in 1958). In October 2000, the former Fujian Agricultural University and Fujian Forestry College merged to form Fujian Agricultural and Forestry University. The former Department of Food Engineering was renamed the School of Food Science in April 2001. The college currently consists of: Department of Food Science, Department of Food Engineering, Department of Food Nutrition and Safety, Fujian Provincial Key Discipline Laboratory of Agricultural Products Processing and Storage, Fujian Provincial Agricultural and Sideline Products Preservation Technology Development Base, Fujian Provincial Agricultural Products Processing Engineering Research Center, and Food Science and Technology Research Institute, Agricultural Products Quality Research Institute, Food Engineering Design Research Institute and other 9 teaching and research institutions and 1 food experimental factory.
The college currently has doctoral programs in "Agricultural Products Processing and Storage Engineering", "Food Science", "Grain, Oil and Protein Engineering", "Aquatic Products Processing and Storage Engineering", "Agricultural Products Processing and Storage Engineering", " There are five master's degree programs in Pharmacognosy, a master's degree in engineering in the food field, and a master's degree in agricultural extension (food processing). Among them, "Agricultural Products Processing and Storage Engineering" has been approved as a key construction discipline in provincial colleges and universities. The School of Food Science has formed a discipline system that is mainly based on engineering and interdisciplinary with agriculture, engineering, and medicine.
In order to adapt to my country's nutrition policy and the upcoming nutrition legislation, upon application and approval by the labor and social security department, relying on the teaching staff of our college, the college has had national public nutritionist training qualifications since 2006. .
Current leaders: Associate Researcher Chen Taifeng, Secretary of the Party Branch of the Institute, Professor Chen Jinquan (PhD Supervisor), Dean, and Professor Zheng Baodong (PhD Supervisor), Vice President.
The college has established the idea of ??"talent is the first resource", strengthened the construction of the teaching staff, and issued the "Teacher Training Plan and Measures" to encourage and support college teachers to study for master's and doctoral degrees on the job, and improve the college's master's degree. , the proportion of teachers with doctoral degrees makes the academic structure more reasonable. At present, nearly 60 of the college’s teachers have doctorates and master’s degrees.
; The college attaches great importance to the construction of the teaching staff and has organized many teachers to go to relevant domestic institutions for further study. It has successively sent Professor Lu Zejian and Professor Chen Jinquan to the University of Georgia in the United States, the University of Minnesota in the United States, and the University of New South Wales in Australia as senior visiting scholars to effectively strengthen the new generation of disciplines. Cultivate leaders to improve innovation capabilities and academic standards. The college currently has 10 professors (researchers), 14 associate professors (associate researchers), 7 doctoral supervisors, 13 master's supervisors, 3 experts with special allowances from the State Council, 1 agricultural expert with outstanding contributions in Fujian Province, and One person was selected as a candidate for the national-level "Hundreds and Thousands of Talents Project", and four were selected as candidates for the Fujian Province's "Hundreds and Thousands of Talents Project", forming a teaching backbone team that combines old, middle-aged and young people and a cross-disciplinary team of engineering, agriculture, and medicine. academic echelon.
The college currently offers undergraduate majors in food science and engineering, undergraduate majors in food quality and safety, adult self-study junior college majors in agricultural product storage and transportation and processing, logistics management (food) adult correspondence (off-the-job) junior college majors, and food science Correspondence study with engineering adults to upgrade to bachelor's degree. The college currently has students: 17 doctoral students, 115 master's students, 14 master's students in the food field, 875 undergraduates, and 163 correspondence undergraduates.
