Course contents:
The course includes basic theory in Food Technology, such as mass- and energy balance, properties of materials, heat transport and process control. In addition, the course covers important unit operations like blanching, pasteurization, sterilisation, baking, frying, infrared-, ohmic- and dielectric heating, cooling, freezing,sorting and filtration. The course also covers bioprocessing (biocatalysis) of food with enzymes and microorganisms (fermentation).
Learning outcome:
The students should know what food processing is and why it is done. The students should be able to do simple calculations (mass- and energy-balances) and evaluations of unit operations such as cooling, freezing, thawing, heating, pasteurization and autoclaving.
Learning activities:
Lectures, online-lectures, calculation exercises, compulsory semester assignment.
