Department of Agricultural Products Processing Technology

All activities of the department are aimed at continuously improving the curriculum in accordance with the new standard and the latest scientific achievements in the field of agricultural processing.

“Development of scientifically based resource-saving technologies for processing locally caught fish and creating fish food products with high nutritional and biological value” – project manager, PhD, associate professor Maatkerimova Zh.M., project implementer: Tarasova S.P., Kaparova E.B.

Students of the department actively participate in scientific research work, they present reports at student conferences and seminars.

Student Melis kyzy Aidana, group Tech(b)-23, presented a report at the international interuniversity scientific and practical conference of young scientists and students and was awarded a diploma (supervised by Assoc. Prof., Ph.D. in Chemistry Maatkerimova Zh.M.).

The department, with the support of the Erasmus+ program, is implemented the project “Development of a Master’s program based on the Bologna principles in resource-efficient production logistics,” the goal of which is to train and improve the qualifications of managers in the field of resource-efficient production logistics in partner countries Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, capable of meeting the needs of national and international companies in creating a manufacturing industry with sustainable and environmentally friendly production methods to increase prosperity in the long term.

The project involves 6 countries (Germany, France, Hungary, Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan) and 10 universities.

Since 2019, the department has also been participating in the international FishEDU project to develop educational potential in fish farming and aquaculture (University of Eastern Finland UVF).

Starting in 2020-23, the department actively participated in the implementation of the AgroDEV project “Development of higher education content aimed at supporting sectors for sustainable production of high-quality agricultural and food products.”

From September 23 to 25, 2025, Elmira Kaparova, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Agricultural Processing Technology of the Faculty of Technology and Bioresources, participated in the V International Conference “Food Quality Food Safety” (FQFS 2025). The conference was organized by the RUDN University named after Patrice Lumumba with the support of leading educational and scientific organizations, as well as partner companies.

On September 24, 2025, E.B. Kaparova spoke at the RUDN University named after Patrice  Lumumba presented a presentation on “Food Security as a Strategic Direction for Modernizing the Educational Program in Agricultural Production and Processing Technology” as part of the International Roundtable “Innovative Forms of Scientific and Educational Cooperation between Universities Participating in the Russian-Kyrgyz Consortium of Agrarian Universities.”

On September 26, 2025, E.B. Kaparova visited the Technological Institute of the Russian State Agrarian University – Agricultural Academy  named after Timiryazev. During the visit, a meeting was held with Acting Director of the Technological Institute, Doctor of Engineering, Professor I.A. Bakin, Deputy Director for Research, Candidate of Engineering, Associate Professor A.S. Mustafina, and Head of the Department of Storage and Processing of Fruit, Vegetable, and Plant Products, Doctor of Engineering, Professor A.Kh.-Kh. Nugmanov. During the meeting, plans for further collaboration were discussed.

Elmira  Kaparova’s participation in the FQFS International Conference and her visit to the Russian State Agrarian University- Agricultural Academy  named after Timiryazev  will strengthen scientific and educational cooperation, expand international contacts, and exchange experiences in the field of food safety, opening up prospects for modernizing educational programs and training specialists who meet market demands.

This virtual logistics laboratory utilizes innovative educational methods—methods of active learning (virtual reality, 3D modeling, information technology)—which enable students to acquire new knowledge faster and more effectively, with greater involvement in the educational process and greater motivation.

The virtual laboratory for agricultural logistics is used for laboratory and practical classes:

– Bachelor’s degree programs (agricultural product processing technologists);

– Master’s degree programs in program: Technology of Production and Processing of Agricultural Products;

Master’s students in program  Logistics

-dissertation preparation;

-conducting research on processing technology and production logistics.
