DFPPT DFST 1204: FOOD PROCESSING AND PRESERVATION TECHNIQUES

The course introduces food processing and preservation methods and principles, food material characteristics and requirements, and shelf-life control and stabilization. Topics discussed include traditional food preservation (salting, smoking, fermentation); food components and ingredients (role of composition and ingredients, mechanical separation of components, homogenization and emulsification, membrane processes, ion exchange, distillation, stability control); freezing of foods and frozen foods stability; conventional, dielectric and microwave heating; thermal preservation (pasteurization, UHT processing, sterilization); thermal kinetics (chemical, microbial, time-temperature indicators); food concentration and dehydration; food extrusion; irradiation of foods; minimal processing principles and novel food processing.

DAE DFST 1205: SENSORY ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION

This course is designed to provide an overview of the application of experimental design and statistical analysis to the use of human senses (sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing) for the purposes of evaluating consumer products. This is important because sensory quality of food is the key attribute in food acceptability. Food quality can be measured using sensory methods as well as instrumental measures of attributes like taste, aroma and texture.
