Aim:  To give the students an understanding on how the interplay between the raw materials, the process technology and the storage- and distribution conditions influences on the sensory and nutritional quality of the final product.
Contents:  Quality - sensorial, nutritional, microbiological etc. The main components of food (water, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins), their structure and function in the most important raw materials and processed foods - including biotechnological foods, microflora and related ingredients (enzymes, starter cultures). Quality decreasing and increasing changes taking place during processing and storage. Methods for determination of food quality (physical, chemical, biochemical, microbiological and sensory analyses). During the whole course focus will be directed towards discussing food quality in relation to the raw materials, the processing methods and the storage conditions.
