This course gives students a practical and theoretical understanding of how analytical and biochemical food tests are performed. Students will learn basic principles of chemistry and apply them to food product development and processing to maintain product safety, quality and efficiency in food processing. Students will apply their understanding of the major chemical constituents in foods to interpret test requirements, including preparation of samples, calibration checks on analytical equipment, and performing routine testing of raw food materials, in-process materials and final products.
