Language
Italian
Scientific Disciplinary Sector (SSD)
AGR/15 - FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
The teaching is organized as follows:
teoria
laboratorio
Learning outcomes
The course provide students with the basic elements of knowledge about conservation and processing of foodstuff and specific knowledge about the quality and the nutritional properties of food.
Program
The course is focused to equip the student with the causes of food spoilage and the principles of food preservation, that are employed in developing methods for the shelf-life extension. This course will provide knowledge and understanding of various methods of heating, cooling, freezing and drying employed in food preservation. The emerging methods are also included.
The skills and knowledge developed during the course of this study is useful while working in processing/quality control/research and development field of a food industry.
In particular will be discussed the following topics:
Thermal processing of preservation (pasteurization, sterilization)
Cold Preservation (refrigeration, freezing)
Preservation by concentration and dehydration
Membrane separation
Non-thermal processes
Fermentation/preservation
Food labeling
Natural preservative
They will be also considered examples of foodstuff preparation
