Module summary

To give an understanding of the principles underlying industrial methods of food preservation and conversion, together with a review of the associated technology. To become acquainted with the main food processing unit operations and understand their respective advantages and disadvantages. To understand the physical principles underlying food processing operations and understand their applications in relation to the modification of food structure and form, increasing shelf-life, retaining nutrients and in promoting product formats. Be familiar with quantitative calculations of the operations considered.

Teaching methods

Delivery type	Number	Length hours	Student hours
Laboratory	5	3.00	15.00
Lecture	19	1.00	19.00
Private study hours			166.00
Total Contact hours			34.00
Total hours (100hr per 10 credits)			200.00

Private study

It is expected that students review lecture material to ensure comprehension of the principles and associated theory and that these can be applied to experimental data to make the necessary calculations. Private study will also complement laboratory experimental sessions where additional material is supplied and which gives practical context and integration of theory.

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

Students are supplied with example questions of similar format to the examination i.e. short answer 4 mark questions and longer descriptive/numerical questions at 20 Marks. Students are encouraged to contact Academics should clarification or additional explanation be required.
