Food Technologist / Scientist Intern

Company: Orizin
Location: Patna, Bihar
Work mode: On-site
Duration: 3 months
Role type: Internship
Experience: Students / Freshers / 0 to 2 years
About Orizin
Orizin is an early-stage clean-label functional food company built around one simple belief:
Truth on the label.
We are building food products that are nutritionally meaningful, simple in their ingredients and honest in their communication.
We are currently developing our first product and are looking for a Food Technologist / Food Scientist Intern who wants to be part of that journey from the very beginning.
About the role
This is a hands-on product development internship.
You will work closely with the founders and our food industry mentor, who brings 15+ years of experience, to take a product from an early idea towards a commercially viable formulation.
You won't just be reading about food product development.
You will be experimenting, formulating, testing and learning through actual product development.
What you will work on
Develop and test food product formulations
Research ingredients and their functional properties
Conduct formulation trials and maintain detailed records
Evaluate taste, texture, solubility, mouthfeel and overall product experience
Work on ingredient combinations and ratios
Help identify suitable raw materials and suppliers
Assist with basic stability and shelf-life studies
Support nutritional and technical evaluation of formulations
Understand food safety, quality and regulatory requirements
Document experiments, results and learnings
Improve formulations based on testing and feedback
Help move the product from prototype towards a production-ready formulation
Who we're looking for
You could be a good fit if you:
Are pursuing or have completed a degree in Food Technology, Food Science, Dairy Technology, Nutrition, Biotechnology or a related field
Have a genuine interest in food product development
Enjoy experimenting and solving formulation problems
Understand basic food ingredients and their functionality
Are detail-oriented and comfortable maintaining experiment records
Are curious and willing to learn
Can work hands-on and independently
Are comfortable with trial and error
Want to understand how a food product goes from an idea to something people can actually buy
Freshers are welcome to apply.
We care more about your curiosity, fundamentals and willingness to learn than years of experience.
What you'll learn
You will get exposure to the complete product development process:
Concept → Ingredient Research → Formulation → Trials → Sensory Testing → Refinement → Validation → Commercialisation
You will also work closely with an experienced food industry mentor with 15+ years of experience and get a practical understanding of how food products are developed beyond the classroom.
Internship details
Duration: 3 months
Location: Patna, Bihar
Work mode: On-site
Stipend: Open for discussion based on the candidate's profile and experience
We are also open to the possibility of offering a full-time opportunity after the internship based on performance, mutual fit and the company's requirements.
Why join us?
Orizin is still at the beginning.
There is no established formulation sitting in a lab waiting to be executed. You will be involved while the product is actually being figured out.
Your experiments could directly influence what eventually becomes Orizin's first product.
You will work closely with the founders and get exposure to both sides of the process:
Food science + building a food company.
