ALIM0008-1  Technology of food industries
Duration :  24h Th, 20h Pr, 4h FT
Credits/ECTS :  
Master in Chemistry and Bio-industries, Professional Focus, 1st yearSecond semester4
Master in Chemistry and Bio-industries, Professional Focus, 2nd yearFirst semester4
Master in Environmental Bioengineering, Professional Focus, 1st yearToute l'année4
Holder(s) :  Sabine Danthine
Language :  French language
Course contents :  The course is made of 6 main parts :

1 : the main families of lipids are described along with main methods of classification and characterisation of fatty materials.

2 : Physico-chemical Properties : thermal properties of lipids and fat crystallization. (polymorphism and intersolubilité).

3 : Quality of oils (mechanisms, monitoring of the oils quality, antioxydants..)

4 : Oils & fats technology : All operations ranging from preparation of raw materials (seeds, fruits) to the refining of the extracted oil (degumming, bleaching, deacidification, deodorization, ...) are discussed.

5 : Oils & fats modifications : hydrogenation, interesterification, fractionation are presented

6 : Formulation of fat containing products (edible or not): technological aspects
Course objective :  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.
