Annotation -
The course is designed to give an overview of foods and their basic components important for human nutrition. Attention is paid to selected processes of food raw materials processing and the influence of these processes on the nutritional and sensory properties of food. The course also introduces the basic apparatuses used in food production. The appropriate packaging and storage of food is also solved.
