nstitute of Food Physical Processing (FPP) is a full-time university-level research institution approved by Jiangsu University in December 2018. The leading research includes (1) theoretical research and technology development for the application of modern physical technologies (Acoustics, Optics, Magnetics, etc.) in food biological manufacturing and agro-product processing; (2) research of food functional characteristics and development of functional foods; (3) design and development of equipment and intelligent control system for agro-product processing and food manufacturing.

FPP Institute has a high-end research platform for the operation of the research. Prior to the establishment, Dean Haile Ma led the foundation of six provincial and ministerial-level research and development platforms, namely, Technology Integration base for Vegetable Dehydration Processing Ministry of Agriculture, P. R. China, National R&D Center for Agro-processing Equipment, Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory for Food Physical Processing, Jiangsu Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for Food Intelligent Manufacturing, Jiangsu Provincial Engineering Laboratory for Food Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment, Jiangsu Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for Biological Processing and Separation of Agro-products, laying a solid ground for the research and development of the research work of our institute.

In order to strengthen cooperation and innovation, the World Food Physical Processing Technology Innovative Center was founded in 2020, with attracted experts from the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and other countries to join in. Centering on the innovation of food physical processing technology, it will gather global wisdom, carry on multi-disciplinary, cross-border and daily academic exchanges and cooperation, so as to improve the role of modern physical technologies in promoting the development of food industry.
