Objectives

On completion of this module students should:
(i) have an advanced understanding of the interactions of food components and the effects of processing in relation to the texture, colour, flavour and quality of a range of food products from farm to fork;
(ii) have performed critical analysis via observation of ingredients functionalities in specific food commodities and how altering these ingredients may affect the final product attributes.

Learning outcomes
On completion of this module students should:
(i) be able to understand how the effect of changing the ingredient or processing may affect the product quality
(ii) have an understanding of the interactions of food components and the effects of processing in relation to the texture, colour, flavour and quality of a range of food products from farm to fork.
Skills outcomes

Skills outcomes
Students will:
- be able to exercise critical judgement in relating they type of ingredients with certain product attributes;
- be able to write a concise lab report about the effect of ingredients and their alternatives to the final products.


Syllabus

This module will investigate specific interactions between different classes of food constituents and the chemical and biochemical changes in the production and processing of various food products. How these interactions affect structure, quality and stability of food products. To investigate how changes in formulation affect structure, quality and stability of food products.
