Annotation -
The course focuses on acquiring the basic sanitation principles practised in the food industry. The subject engages in classical methods of liquidation of microorganisms in food processing plants, in contrast to modern methods (e.g. membrane filtration, high pressure, pulsed electric field). The emphasis is placed on the location and structure of processing plants, including of hygienic design of processing plants and facilities, and on the hygiene of employees in food production plants and control laboratories.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to make sense of problems of health risk microorganims causing foodborne illness in contrast to technologically risk microorganisms; to suggest the HACCP project for a specific food product; to suggest a general sanitation programme for food processing plant.
