Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will master theoretical principles and practical procedures of technology of plant and animal food production, including physical, chemical and biological processes, which take place in individual stages of production and significantly influence sensory, nutritional and hygienic parameters of food.
In this context, they will have an overview of the hygienic and legislative requirements necessary for the production of quality, safe and sensory attractive food.
Emphasis will be placed on the ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practice.

Prerequisites

Knowledge and skills in the field of food technology at the level of the previous master's degree

Aims

The aim of the course is to deepen students' existing knowledge of technological processes of food production and extend their knowledge in this field with a focus on new directions of food production and application of new (modern) methods in food production. The last part includes the necessary knowledge of legislative and hygienic aspects of food production.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Teaching is realized by consultations on topics, which are based on assignment of doctoral thesis.
