Annotation -
The course focuses on the methods of food preservation. The basic principles are described for each method, the method of storage products and changes that can be expected during storage products are given. Attention is also paid to the barrier theory and to the practice in the production of minimally-processed foods.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

Describe the changes taking place during production and storage of food.

Propose the preservation method for particular food product.

Estimate the shelf-life of food product.

Calculate the inactivating effect of heating and design its optimization.
