Learning outcomes |
This curricular unit aims to give students the capacity to change food technology processing, towards its optimization, improving the product or introducing new products. Moreover, the aim is also an update on emerging technologies, as well as in the fundamentals of technological processes that lead to the development of new products based on sensory, nutrition and food safety challenges, among others.

Syllabus |
Concept and characterization of Food Industries (FI). Relations between FI and agriculture: the model of separation/recombination. Preparation of raw material before processing. Heat processing. Food industry organization: processing equipment for different types of production and selection; production systems, food preservation by combined methods (techniques/associated functions, storage conditions and distribution systems along the manufacture steps). Emerging technologies. Applications in meat technology, fruits and vegetables, dairy products, oils and fats, cereal products, fishery products. Innovation vectors in food technology. Sensory evaluation and development of new products. Food legislation and new products.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching methodologies focus on the student, seeking active participation in laboratory/technological classes and evaluation of scientific articles on the topics presented. Access to learning is done in an expository and demonstrative way in theoretical classes based on student/teacher, student-student interaction, as well as in active training methodologies, with a practical component.
The assessment will be carried out through a written assessment of the knowledge acquired (60%) and an application/research work with oral presentation within the syllabus taught in the curricular unit and with a weight in the final grade of 40%. The minimum grade for both components to obtain attendance and admission to the exam is 8 points. The minimum grade to pass the Curricular Unit will be 10 points (after taking the weighted average of the different parts and rounding to the nearest unit in the final classification obtained).
