Annotation -
The course deals with the influence of technological processes involved in food production on the nutritional value of food. Conventional (classical) methods used in the processing of raw materials, intermediate products, and final products are presented and compared with new (modern) processing methods that minimally interfere with the processed raw material. The course focuses on the possibilities of influencing technological conditions while preserving the nutritional value of food and on the use of food industry waste for the separation of nutritionally important substances.

Learning outcomes -

Students will be able to:

assess the influences and effects of individual technological processes used in the processing of food raw materials on the content and structure of food components;

assess the nutritional aspects of processing processes;

assess the nutritional aspects of processing methods;

for selected operations and processes that significantly reduce the nutrient content in food, students will be able to

propose an operation or process with minimal impact on the composition of the food.
