Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide students with scientific knowledge and regulatory information about functional foods, i.e. foods showing specific nutritional properties which can have a positive effect on physiological well-being and human health. In addition, institutional references and tools (e.g., online databases) will be explained, which can allow students to retrieve information autonomously, in the perspective of continuous updating even post-lauream.
Program
