Purpose and Content

The aim of the course By informing the relationship between food and food chemistry, the structural/physical/chemical properties of water, lipids, carbohydrates and proteins, which are the basic components of foods, and the chemical reactions that occur during the preparation/storage/shipment/sale of foods, applying the analysis methods of food components in the food laboratory and applying the methods given in food legislation. To teach them to reach their limits and to open them up for discussion.
Course Content It covers in detail the water, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and laboratory methods found in the composition of foods.
