Course Objectives

To apply the knowledge gained in FDE 313 for different food systems ( dairy, meat, fruits and vegetables , emulsions etc..)


Course Content

Biochemistry of raw foods: red meat, puoltry, fish, eggs, post-harvest physiology of fruits and vegetables, cereals, legumes, milk, toxicants and contaminants. Interactions in coloaidal systems, chemistry of browning reactions and lipid oxidation reactions, glass transition and satate diagrams of foods.


Course Learning Outcomes

  • Students will be able to expand  their knowledge in  food science to understand the biochemical changes in raw foods occurring during processing and storage
  • Students will be able to gain the insight on the chemical changes induced in foods that  help students to design new food products.  
  • Students will gain an awareness of what is learned in classroom applies to industry.
  • Students will understand professional and ethical responsibility related to the influence of biochemical changes that could occur in raw foods
