MICROORGANISMS AND PROCESSES FOR THE AGRI-FOOD INDUSTRY
Module PROCESSI PER L'INDUSTRIA AGROALIMENTARE

Academic Year 2022/2023 - Teacher: Giuseppe MURATORE

Expected Learning Outcomes

The course aims to provide students basic knowledge on the food production process together with an overview of the multiple applications of biotechnology in the "agri-food chain".

At the end of the course students will have developed the necessary skills to understand the relationship between technological conditions adopted for production and qualitative characteristics of food products.

Course Structure

Lectures (21 hours - 3CFU), also on line.

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the Syllabus.

Learning assessment may also be carried out on line, should the conditions require it.
