The course focuses on the basic categories of functional fermented and non-fermented foods, understanding the relationship between the properties of lactic acid bacteria and their health benefits. Students will learn about the properties of the most important probiotic microorganisms, their applications in the food industry and animal nutrition, the issues of their stability and determination. The basic legislative documents regarding food labeling, health and nutritional claims will also be summarized. Information on functional componets of food (dairy products, cereal products, oil etc.) will be presented.
