Aim: To enable the students to understand the construction and practical use of various processing equipment for food production. Special focus will be put on the understanding of the interaction between the process, raw materials and the end product quality.
Contents: Process technology (fluid mechanics, mass and heat transfer). Food unit operations in the areas of conservation (both heating and cooling techniques), centrifuge and filtration processes and drying (calculations, dimension and modelling). Planning of food production systems. Hygiene in food processes and hygienic design of equipment for food production. Quality control, logistics and work environment. Study visits to industry plants will be incorporated in the course.
