Key words Heat preservation, cooling, freezing, concentration, separation processes, membrane filtration, destillation, adsorption, extraction
Objectives The course gives an insight in the basis drafts form of modern preservation - and processing technologies within the food industry.
This is therefore technology elementary course, necessarily for each professional profile within food industry.
Topics
- Heat preservation: blanching, pasteurising, sterilisation,
- basis concepts of drying, cooling and freezing of foods.
- basis concepts of food irradiation
- Physical separation processes: membrane filtration, distillation, extraction and supercritical extyraction, adsorption, crystallisation
Prerequisites Basic knowledge on physics and maths
Final Objectives Basic knowledge on process units within food processing industries
Indicators:
- the student must be able to discuss a production process in function of different entity processes
- the student must be able to interpret simple technological problems and to solve them
- the student must be able to select with a view on a certain aim, a suitable technique
