Learning outcomes
This course will introduce students to the basic principles for working with food products, both of vegetable and animal origin, within a practical environment. Included are requirements for sources of raw materials, energy, water, packaging and waste disposal.
During the course the student will acquire broader theoretical and practical bases of individual production processes, common in the processing of raw materials of animal origin, including the principle of technological equipment used in industrial production. The procedures result in prolonging the shelf life and ensuring the hygienic safety of the food.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of chemistry and biology.
