XNB250 Food Chemistry and Technology

This unit exposes you to aspects of food science and technology including the composition of food and its behaviour during processing, food product development, food selection and evaluation and food spoilage and preservation. Laboratory based workshops enable students to develop practical skills in food preparation and use an experimental approach to develop understanding of the scientific principles that govern the changes occurring during food preparation. This unit prepares you for units later in your course that require an ability to apply practical aspects of food and food preparation as part of interventions to prevent or solve nutrition problems.
