Aim: To give an introductory knowledge of some raw materials, how they are transformed into food, how they are characterized (physically, chemically, biochemically and microbiologically) and how to plan and report experimental work.
Contents: The course contains a production of selected foods (e.g. cheese, sour-milk, fruit-juices, mayonnaise, liver patê or fish products). The produced food items are characterized: -by physical attributes (e.g. homogenety, texture, viscosity, color, stability, dry matter and ash): -by biochemical attributes (e.g. lipids, proteins, enzymes and emibipers): -microbiologic (e.g. growth, microscopy, plating and detection/determination of bacteria (lacticacid bacteria) molds and yeast).
