History

Established in 2000 and currently rated as CAPES level 7, the Graduate Program in Food Engineering (PPGEAL) is continuously striving for excellence in the training of its students through highly qualified faculty and the development of relevant and innovative research projects with national and international impact.

The quality of PPGEAL has enabled its graduates to pursue careers in undergraduate and graduate academic teaching at top-ranked institutions, as well as in research and development of products and processes in the food and related industries. In its pursuit of excellence, PPGEAL has increased its national visibility through interinstitutional projects (such as MINTER, DINTER, COFECUB, and Amazônia +10) and international collaborations (CAPES/PRINT, and joint PhD programs with institutions such as ONIRIS – France, University of Milano – Italy, and Universitat Rovira i Virgili – Spain).
