Aim: To make students familiar with fundamental properties of foodstuffs. In particular to give the students an understanding of the interplay between raw materials, process technology, storage technology and distribution technology that is a key factor in food production of desirable quality. Through this understanding, the students will be qualified to employ chemical and engineering science principles to solve problems arising from production and quality assessment of food products.
