Learning Outcomes
Application of fundamental chemical engineering processes in the food industry. Main aim of this course is to educate students in basic pronciples of food engineering so that: a) they can understand the processes in a food industry and help them become a successful food engineer, b)inspire them the ambition to delve into food engineering research to improve existing technologies or develop new ones Specifically, upon completion of this course, the students will be able to: 1. calculate the thermophysical properties of foods 2. design thermal processes like pasteurization, sterilization, drying 3. find solutions to steady and non-steady processes 4. design cooling and freezing processes
