Last update: Cejpek Karel doc. Dr. Ing. (09.07.2013)
The course is intended to introduce students to the experimental observation of the reactions important in food technology, laboratory and practice. Students will learn how to control reactions and describe them with the kinetic equations.
Aim of the course -
Last update: TAJ323 (16.08.2013)

Students will be able to:

  • set up and observe the most common reactions important in food practice.
  • determine kinetic parameters of the reactions and describe the processes using kinetic relations
  • use this knowledge for the control of the reactions.
