Is there any good books for the prepararation of GATE exam for food technology branch..??

hi,


i am giving you the syllabus of GATE in food technology

Hello,

Galgotia in Food Technology is a good book for preparation for GATE exam(Food Technology).


good luck

can u give the address of book shop where i cn prchs gate book for food tech by galaotia publication

can u give the addrress of book shop where i can purchase gate book for food tech by galgotia publication
please answer me on my e mail [email protected]

thanks a lot

can i pursue msc.food and technology after bsc. chemistry (hons.) ?

can u plz tell me from where i can purchase gate book for food tech????

Swaminathan, M. (Latest Edition). Hand Book of food and Nutrition. The Bangalore Printing and Publishing co. Ltd. Bangalore.
This book can help to come across the overall aspects of food science and nutrition. Hope for the best.
