The aim of the subject is to understand the chemical, biochemical and physicochemical changes of the main and minor components which take place during food processing in relation to unit operations and nutritional value. At the same time, the course will present modern laboratory methods (physical, physicochemical, biochemical, microbiological and sensory) for process and quality control.

Last update: Pátková Vlasta (15.11.2018)

A student will be able to:

• assess and quantify possible interactions and reactions of ingredients during the individual steps of food processing and storage

• optimize production and storage conditions to achieve optimal sensory and nutritional properties and eliminate process contaminants while ensuring product safety

• to select and use analytical methods to control the quality of raw materials, intermediate products, and food products
