Annotation -
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.

Syllabus -

General topics:

• Unit operations and their influence on chemical, biochemical and physicochemical changes of food ingredients (heat treatment, drying, freezing, membrane processes, fermentation, ...)

• Optimization of the production process in terms of maintaining the safety and increasing the nutritional and sensory value of the food

• The principles of the methods used in the process and quality control

Specialization:

• Shelf life prediction procedures

• Characteristics of chemical, biochemical and nutritional changes of the components of milk during processing on individual products

• Characteristics of chemical, biochemical and nutritional changes of components of cocoa beans in the production of chocolate

• Instrumental methods for determining the cause of food defects

• Laboratory tools for detecting food adulteration

• Overview of electrophoretic methods, their development, and application in food analysis

• Overview of spectroscopic methods, their development and application in food analysis

• Process control of milk and dairy products

• Process control of cereal products

• Process control of oils and fats

The content of the subject will be adapted to the topic of the doctoral thesis.

Learning outcomes -

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
