The scope of this course is principal chemical reactions of important food components that occur during storage, culinary and technological processing of foods, which lead to changes in nutritional, sensory and health quality.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Cejpek Karel doc. Dr. Ing. (09.07.2013)

Students will be able to

  • describe the reaction mechanisms for the principal reactions of nutrients and other food components
  • evaluate the information about the chemical and physical parameters that determine in which direction and how far the food components react, and how quickly the reactions are carried out.
  • design effective control over important reactions in food practice.
