Course objective :  To take fat matter treatment as a model to describe the technology of food industry.
After completing the course the student is expected to
The industry of extraction, refining and transformation of oils and fats constitutes a specific sector of food industries because of the hydrophobic nature of the concerned components. At the end of the formation, the students will have to be able to determine the constraints linked to this specificity in order to optimize oils and fats functionality.
