Course abstract
Cereal quality is the key factor in acceptability and demand of food products, therefore the aim of the course is to deepen the understanding of theoretical fundamentals and practical methods for evaluation of cereal quality; to educate students for work in multicultural teams. Course is based on the research and practical cases in evaluation of cereal quality attributes such as physical parameters, chemical composition, sensory and technological properties (as rheology, starch gelatization temperature, baking properties).
Learning outcomes and their assessment
After completing the course students will have:
• knowledge and understanding on cereal quality attributes in food chain;
• skills to evaluate physical parameters, chemical composition, sensory and technological properties, and microbiological safety of cereals, summarize and discuss the results of laboratory work;
• competence to choose appropriate method of analysis for evaluation of cereal quality attributes, and analyse the obtained results.
