This course is designed to provide students with introductory knowledge, skills and
competencies needed to understand the engineering concepts involved in food various food processing situations. The course provides basic understanding of unit operations;
process flow and design; materials balances; energy balance; laws of thermodynamics,
flow of fluids, transport processes: momentum transfer, heat transfer, mass transfer;
process economics; chemical reactors; batch or continuous operation.

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.

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.

The course is designed to describe the application of biotechnology techniques in food production and processing. It also examines modern trends in drink and beverage industry - wine, beer, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks; fermented foods, solid state fermentation and nutraceuticals; biotechnological aspects of food processing vegetable and animal origin; oriental and exotic foods.
