Annotation -
The course focuses on the preparation of food technologies. The subject pursues a more thorough understanding of the technological processes used in the production of meat and meat products, milk and dairy products and egg and egg product technologies at the levels of chemical and biochemical, microbiological, physical and engineering processes. It includes the characterization of the physicochemical properties of meat, milk and egg raw materials and the application of basic unit operations common to various technologies of meat, milk and egg products and their influence on changes in meat, milk and egg raw materials and products during processing and storage. It contains a mixture of technologies of meat and meat products, milk and dairy products and eggs and egg products. It also includes the potential use of modern technologies enabling the production of new functional foods based on meat, milk and eggs.

Teaching methods -

Technology of food of animal origin is a specialized theoretical subject. In the subject, students acquire primarily basic knowledge in the field of Technology of food of animal origin in the form of lectures with included practical aspects of the use of knowledge in food operations in the production and processing of food and dishes. During the teaching, methods will be used to verify understanding of the given subject - quiz tests, or solving problems that may arise in the production and processing of milk, eggs and meat.

Requirements to the exam -

The course is concluded with an exam consisting of two written parts.

The written part of the exam consists of two tests, the first of which can be taken during the semester and the second at the end of the semester. Each written part consists of ten questions, rated 0–10 points. In each test, the student must achieve at least 50% of the points. If less than 50 points are achieved in one of the tests, the exam is evaluated with a grade of F.

The final grade is given by the weighted average of the two values ​​from both written parts.
