After completion of the course, the student should be able to:- in general describe the food chain from harvest to final plant food products for the most important food plants.
- in detail describe how product specific properties and storage conditions of the plant raw materials discussed may influence the final sensoric and nutritional quality of the food product,
- account for the principles for industrial processes which transform the plant material into food products,
- in detail describe how processing factors may influence the final food product quality.
Content
The main topic of the course concern the sensoric and nutritional quality of the final plant food product in relation to the morphological and chemical properties of the plant raw material. Further, principles for the most important industrial processes for food products, are described, and focus is put on the relations between the sensoric and nutritional quality of the product, process and the composition of raw material.Formats and requirements for examination
Approved written examination, approved tasks, approved oral and written presentation of project work and approved participation in compulsory activities.- If the student fails a test, the examiner may give the student a supplementary assignment, provided this is possible and there is reason to do so.
- If the student has been granted special educational support because of a disability, the examiner has the right to offer the student an adapted test, or provide an alternative assessment.
