Teaching methods
Lessons in classroom. exercises by use of spreadsheet. flow diagrams and processing schemes. Group analytical activity on formulated food. Seminar by experts.
Assessment methods
Written test with open questions and multiple choice. Exercise on spreadsheet on food formulation (i.e. mixing of components). 50% of the evaluation will be based on the Presentation of the team work based on the product study on a range of similar formulated foods in order to stimulate the working in group, critical thinking and communication skills. The team work is also the result of the laboratory of Physical and rheological analysis
Teaching tools
Beamer, PC, internet connection. Team working in laboratory for the definition of properties of formulataed products and new product development
