The College of Food Science and Technology started in 1950 with the Processing Department of Guangdong Provincial Advanced Aquatic Technology School. In 1977, after the national college entrance examination was resumed, it began to admit the first undergraduate students. In 1999, it began to admit master degree students, since 2002, it has worked with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to train Ph. D. candidates, and in 2014, it began recruiting Ph. D. candidates in food science and engineering.

The college has a complete degree authorization system of “Bachelor, Master and doctor”. Currently, there are doctor degree authorization points in food science and Engineering, Master Degree Authorization Points in Food Science and Engineering, Master Degree Authorization Points in agriculture (in the field of food processing and safety) and master degree authorization points in engineering (in the field ofBiology and Medicine), have Food Science and Engineering, food quality and safety, biological engineering 3 undergraduate programs.

The discipline leader of the college is Professor Zhang Chaohua, the former vice president of Guangdong Ocean University. Food science and engineering are the core disciplines of our university’s “5+1+N” marine discipline system (“5” means 5 first-level doctor disciplines ); was rated as "C+" in the fourth round of national subject evaluation, and 3rd in Guangdong Province; in 2018, it was selected as a key construction subject for high-level universities in Guangdong Province. The secondary discipline "Aquatic Product Processing and Storage Engineering" is the key discipline of Panfeng in Guangdong Province. This discipline is the only food science and engineering discipline with marine food as the main body in South China.

The college currently has 76 full-time teachers, including 18 professors, 21 associate professors, 27 lecturers, 56 teachers with doctor degrees, 26 teachers with more than one year of overseas study experience, and 13 doctor supervisors.

The college follows the strategic needs of the development and utilization of South China Sea biological and subtropical agricultural products resources, and carries out innovative basic and applied research, forming "aquatic product storage and processing", "South China Sea biological active substance research and development", "aquatic food quality and safety" ", "Subtropical agricultural products storage and processing" 4 distinctive research directions. In the past five years, undertook 143 scientific research projects, including 25 national-level (21 National Natural Science Foundation of China), 52 provincial and ministerial level, with a total funding of more than 50 million yuan; published 443 papers, of which 142 were included by SCI/EI, and 2 were included. ESI highly cited papers; 13 monographs and textbooks published; 26 national authorized invention patents and 3 utility model patents; 7 provincial and municipal (departmental) scientific research and teaching awards; breakthrough fish, shrimp, and shellfish Live technology and frozen prepared food processing technology have been applied in more than 20 enterprises across the country, generating economic benefits of more than 3 billion yuan; the research and development of "high-value aquatic protein utilization technology" has led the development of the industry and cultivated 3 high-tech companies in Guangdong Province enterprise.

The quality of talent training in the college has been highly recognized by employers. The college's food science and engineering, food quality and safety majors are national-level specialty majors, the first batch of national outstanding agricultural and forestry talents education and training program reform pilot majors, Guangdong Province famous brand and key majors; it has 6 provincial-level undergraduate students' quality resource sharing courses, 5 provincial-level postgraduate demonstration courses; more than 50 off-campus production and practice bases; in the past 5 years, in the scientific and technological innovation and professional competitions of college students, it has won 1 national award and 32 provincial awards. From 2013 to 2018, the final employment rate of graduates was 100%. 15% of graduates chose to study for postgraduate studies or study abroad, and most graduates are engaged in food-related production, inspection, marketing, and management in enterprises and institutions.

The college attaches great importance to academic exchanges at home and abroad. The college has also established a 3+2 international cooperation talent training model with Lincoln University in New Zealand. Every year, undergraduates and postgraduates are sent to Tokyo Ocean University, Taiwan Ocean University, Kaohsiung Ocean University and universities in South Korea for short-term exchange training.
