ALIM0005-1  Food Formulations Engineering
Duration :  16h Th, 8h Pr
Credits/ECTS :  
Master in Chemistry and Bio-industries, Professional Focus, 1st yearFirst semester2
Master in Forests and natural Areas Engineering, Professional Focus, 1st yearFirst semester2
Required preliminary complements to register in the Advanced Master in Food Science and technologyFirst semester2
Holder(s) :  Christophe Blecker
Language :  French language
Course contents :  - Concept of "technofunctionality"
- Fonctional properties of food ingredients and food additives
- Physicochemical methodologies
- Food hydrocolloids
- Ingredients interactions
- Compatibilty between macromolecules and phase diagrams
Course objective :  To master the main concepts of food ingredients and food products properties and structure.
To go thoroughly into functional properties of food ingredients and governing mecanisms.
To initiate the students into physico-chemistry of composite foods, including colloids and surface science, and rheology (diluted, dispersed and solid systems).
To complete the theoretical training about formulations, in particular in the field of food industries technology.
To emphasize the composite structure of food products and hence the importance of ingredients interactions (phase diagrams).
After completing the course the student is expected to
approach food formulation from a scientific point of view in order to join a R&D department.
