Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To illustrate, starting from the example of milk, the relationship between raw materials physico-chemistry, technologies and products. To tackle a concrete problem related to food science. After completing the course the student is expected to be able to identify the technological functionalities which have to be controlled in order to ensure the required qualities of the prepared products, taking into account behaviors of the concerned components and also technological processes. The selected didactic model is milk.
