Language :  French language
Course contents :  A. Complements of food formulations engineering

- Trends in food consumption
- Formulation of "Health" foods
. Light products
. Incorporation of ingredients good for health
- Studies of cases

B. Sensory analysis

- Basis of sensory physiology
- Food behaviour
- Hedonic evaluation
- Sensory analysis

Course objective :  To give practical complements in food formulations engineering.

To tackle concretely some questions related to the assessment of organoleptic
quality of food.

To emphasize the complementary approach of instrumental and sensorial methods to assess this quality.
After completing the course the student is expected to
on the one hand, to consider the transversal approach of food formulation, taking into account nutritional recommendations, raw materials quality and impact of processing;

on the other hand, to express a critical opinion on the techniques used for sensory evaluation of food.
