Passionate

Some might think what is it food technology? Are you going to a chef ? are you cooking in class ? Nutritionist ? That would be the common perspectives regarding on my course. But it is actually different from people perspectives even in my own view before I applied this course and learn about it. Never imagine that I would like this course so much. Not 100% but I feelin like its not waste of time to learn every single knowledge in this course cause I know the importance in the future. I feel not only learning because of the examination only and that’s makes me HAPPY even though my cgpa is not that high( so far it slightly increases and dean list is my target ! ) hAha .But anyway, Alhamdulillah full stop !

Yes, for me this course is actually hard because of lack of time to study as I’m a type of person that need to spend lots of time to digest information so that I could really understand it better forever . And the problem is in the campus I have so many things to do that made me hard to concentrate to learn better. But hey, do you realize that now you’re giving ALASAN to yourself. Look other person although they have many other things to be done more than you but they could do it properly. You’re just lazy to do the best. Just increase your effort Put ! And get closer to Allah because only Him can helps us and He is the STRENGTH that you need in life.

Even though the basic salary of a food technologist in market are not high. But as long as you work with full of heart and bring benefits to Deen ,family ,society and yourself is enough to make us happy in this worldy life. My target is to work with HALAL JAKIM. Really determine to work with them as it is very useful job to help people eat something that the prophet  SAW said “ HALAL & THOIYYIBAH”. Help the food manufactures to get their HALAL certificate of their product is not like ABC you know. It should start from the beginning until the end of the process. GMP, HACCP and much more need to learn and applied . Analyte how many % of alcohol in the product. Is there any doubt ingredient in the product ? The enzyme extract, colouring, gelatin sources, emulsifiers . How about the instrument ? and many more.

FOOD BIOCHEMISTRY

Very incredibly interesting to learn. But the chemical reaction is no fun to learn as it a little bit complicated to understand and remember hihi.  The fun part is that you can explain the nature creation of Allah’s phenomena to food in perspective of biochemistry. For example, Why apple turns brown when expose to air ? Why biscuits turn soggy and cake becomes hard when expose to air.  How in the earth does omega-3 help to boost your brain performance ? Why youre crying when cutting onion haha. And bla bla bla *Ar. Theerapong used to say this J*

FOOD + ENGINEERING = FOODENG <3

Quite interesting to learn the concept but need to be extra carefull in manufacture. I just love to learn the concept, the formulation and how to calculate for example how many sugars needed to add to produce 20% of solids in fruit juice. Thermal processing of food, Food freezing, dehydration, psychometric, the heat exchanger and many more. Really admire people that good in this. It cool ! hihi

FOOD HEALTH & NUTRITION

This is the most interesting part for me as we eat food everyday and we will know the path or the journey of the food in our body ;) The digestion of large molecule to the simplest and being absorbed by our bodies according to what Allah had command. In food basically consist of carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamin & mineral, ash, moisture content. What is the differences between vitamin and mineral ? And much things to remember regarding on nutrition. I’ll learn about this later .

FOOD MICROBIOLOGY

Fun to learn ! We able to know the present microorganisms in our food. Eventhough it’s very tiny and cant be seen thru naked eyes, but it is so powerful to make you sick if accidently ingest them. The toxic from pathogen enough to make you diarrhoea, vomiting all night every 2 hours haha. Thru microbiology, we learn how to make the live culture of this amazing creature of Allah in petri dish with correct technique. And then ble to see them thru microscope and thousands of them in just tiny drops in the slide. Maha suci Allah yang mencipta.

And the rest of it still in learning process. Really hope that Allah will give benefits knowledge for me and for all my course mates. May Allah bless our effort to go through the life as students. May we appreciate to the opportunity that He give us to learn. Move forward and try the best you can. Get closer to Allah and leave everything to Allah. May we died in iman with ‘husnul khatimah’

amiin.
