Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE THE STUDENT WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF FOOD CHEMISTRY INCLUDING THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF FOOD AND THE USE OF HEALTHY FOODS.
AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL KNOW:
- THE CHEMICAL, DIETETIC AND TOXICOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE MAIN CATEGORIES OF NUTRIENTS: PROTEINS, CARBOHYDRATES, LIPIDS, VITAMINS AND MINERALS.
- THE TECHNOLOGICAL TREATMENTS COMMONLY USED FOR FOOD PRESERVATION AND THE ANALYZES USEFUL FOR GUARANTEEING SAFETY (CONTAMINANTS) OR INCLUSION IN PARTICULAR QUALITY CATEGORIES (DESIGNATIONS OF ORIGIN).
-LEGISLATION, FORMULATIONS, COMPOSITION AND USE OF PRODUCTS INTENDED FOR PARTICULAR NUTRITIONAL USES, FUNCTIONAL FOODS AND FOOD SUPPLEMENTS
AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- CARRY OUT ASSESSMENTS REGARDING THE CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF A FOOD PRODUCT, ITS TRANSFORMATION AND FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
- INTERPRET, FOR THE PURPOSES OF CORRECT USE, THE COMPOSITION OF PRODUCTS INTENDED FOR PARTICULAR DIETS AND DIETETIC PRODUCTS.

Prerequisites
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND KNOW HOW TO APPLY THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE FULLY ACQUIRED THE OBJECTIVES AND HAVE PASSED THE EXAME OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Teaching Methods
LECTURES
LABORATORY
Verification of learning
WRITTEN TESTS AND ORAL EXAM WHERE THE ACHIEVEMENT OF LEARNING OBJECTIVES WIL BE ASSESSED. THE WRITTEN TEST IS PROPEDEUTICAL TO THE ORAL TEST AND CONSISTS IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF A QUESTIONNAIRE WITH QUESTIONS OF MULTIPLE ANSWER AND OPEN RESPONSE
BLOCKED. THE QUESTIONNAIRE, FOR A TOTAL OF 30 QUESTIONS. THE QUESTIONS WILL HAVE AS A SUBJECT TO THE COURSE AND ARE INTENDED TO CHECK THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE PROPOSED PROBLEMS AND THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WRITTENLY.
THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS IN A DISCUSSION OF THE DURATION NOT EXCEEDING ABOUT 30 MINUTES, FINALIZED TO ASSERT:
THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF THEORETICAL CONTENT
THE LEVEL OF COMPETENCE REACHED IN THE EXPOSURE: LANGUAGE PROPERTIES, LOGIC - DEDUCTIVE AND SYNTHESIS CAPACITY.
