Aims
The aim of the course is to deepen students' existing knowledge of technological processes of food production and extend their knowledge in this field with a focus on new directions of food production and application of new (modern) methods in food production. The last part includes the necessary knowledge of legislative and hygienic aspects of food production.
Students will master theoretical principles and practical procedures of technology of plant and animal food production, including physical, chemical and biological processes, which take place in individual stages of production and significantly influence sensory, nutritional and hygienic parameters of food.
In this context, they will have an overview of the hygienic and legislative requirements necessary for the production of quality, safe and sensory attractive food.
Emphasis will be placed on the ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practice.
