Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

Learning Objectives: At the end of the course the student will be aware of the potential application of new chemical products in many crucial fields. The student will know the properties materials, including new materials as:of colloidal materials, of polymeric substances, of liquid crystals and how to assess the features of these materials. He/she will be able to apply the knowledge acquired to food industry and food assessment. He/she will be aware of the different formulations of chemical substances. The student is expected to be able to: 1. design new products for specific applications; 2. design siutable formulations of chemicals for specific applications; 3. apply new products and formulations to food industry.

Contenuti

The CU will be made of three modules with the following contents:

(1) Design of Chemical Formulations

This module will show students how to correlate the product structure with the product behaviour in application, Iillustrate the preparation of formulated products by incorporating ingredients that modify the structure and properties of the product, and show the current available procedures to modify the structure of the products.

(2) Food and Chemistry

The aim of this module is to give an overview of the formulation of food from its ingredients, and formulation of new foods. In addition, emerging technologies and new tools in processing foods will be anlysed and studied.

(3) Properties of Materials and New Materials

The aim of this module is to acquire the basic theoretical knowledge to understand the applications of different materials, as determined by their structure and physical/chemical properties. Understand how different materials respond to different technological requirements.

Testi/Bibliografia

Lecture notes will be available for students.

Metodi didattici

Each module is organized in theoretical classes where main concepts are explained, as well as tutorial classes with discussion of case-study examples.

Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento

Modules 1 and 2 are assessed independently through homework assignments (20%) and a written assignment (80%). Module 3 is assessed through work assignments (50%) and report a given problem (50%)

The Curricular Unit grade will be the arithmetic mean of grades from the three modules.
