Objectives
ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE ON THE MAIN SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE RECOVERY OF BIOMASS AND PRODUCTION WASTE AND ON THE METHODS OF CHROMATOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION FOR OBTAINING AND CHARACTERIZING BIO-PRODUCTS (PURE EXTRACTS OR MOLECULES). DEVELOPMENT OF THE ABILITY TO CHARACTERIZE SAMPLES OF WASTE MATRICES (FINGERPRINTS) AND THEIR COMPONENTS FOR THE VALORIZATION IN DIFFERENT SUPPLY CHAINS (FOOD, HERBAL, COSMETIC, NUTRACEUTICAL)
Prerequisites
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND BE ABLE TO APPLY MOST OF THE TOPICS COVERED IN TEACHING, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE PASSED THE PREPARATORY EXAMINATION OF VEGETABLE BIOMASS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HEALTH PRODUCTS AND ENERGY
Contents
INTRODUCTION ON VEGETABLE BIOMASSES USEFUL AS MATRICES FROM WHICH TO OBTAIN VARIOUS TYPES OF EXTRACT IN RELATION TO POSSIBLE EXTRACTIVE TECHNIQUES AND PRE- AND POST-PROCESSING ACTIVITIES.

THE COURSE WILL FOCUS ON THE FOLLOWING TOPICS:

PRE-EXTRACTION TREATMENTS ON FRESH VEGETABLE BIOMASSES, TO MAINTAIN THE CHARACTERISTICS AND PROLONG THE CONSERVABILITY, SUCH AS FREEZING, DRYING, PULVERIZING, ENZYMATIC TREATMENT, FERMENTATION

TECHNOLOGICAL OPERATIONS, PRODUCTION PURPOSES AND PROCESS FLOWS
PLANT BIOMASS CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES: THERMAL ANALYSIS, RESIDUAL HUMIDITY TITRATION, QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF INGREDIENTS AND IMPURITIES

TECHNIQUES OF SOLID-LIQUID EXTRACTION AND PREPARATION OF EXTRACTS THROUGH OSMOSIS PROCESSES AND DIFFUSION SUCH AS MACERATION, DECOTION, INFUSION, PERCULATION, EXTRACTION WITH ULTRASOUND, PRESSING, HYDRO-DISTILLATION AND DISTILLATION IN VAPOR CURRENT, EXTRACT, EXTRACT.

POST-PROCESSING TREATMENTS ON THE PRODUCT EXTRACT TO MAKE IT OPTIMAL TO THE END USE BY FILTERING, CONCENTRATION, LYOPHILIZATION, REFINING / PURIFICATION / FRACTIONATION OPERATIONS

CHROMATOGRAPHIC AND SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC TECHNIQUES FOR THE ANALYTICAL CHARACTERIZATION (TITRATION AND STANDARDIZATION) OF THE EXTRACT

SPRAY DRYING TECHNIQUES FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF STABLE MICRO PARTICULAR POWDER EXTRACTS WITH ORGANOLEPTIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS SUITABLE FOR FOOD, HERBALISTIC, COSMETIC AND NUTRACEUTICAL PRODUCTS
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE RECOVERY AND ANALYSIS OF PLANT BIOMASS 6 CFU (42 HOURS) PROVIDES LECTURES 4 CFU (28 HOURS) AND EXERCISES IN THE LABORATORY 1 CFU (7 HOURS) EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM 1CFU (7 HOURS)
THE FREQUENCY OF CLASSROOM LESSONS AND LABORATORY EXERCISES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
Verification of learning
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING A FINAL EXAM WITH AN EVALUATION IN THIRTIETHS. THE EXAM INCLUDES A WRITTEN TEST WITH OPEN-ENDED AND MULTIPLE QUESTIONS FOLLOWED BY AN ORAL EXAM. TO ACCESS THE ORAL TEST, A MINIMUM GRADE OF 15/30 MUST BE OBTAINED IN THE WRITTEN TEST. THE FINAL EXAM IS PASSED WITH THE MINIMUM GRADE OF 18/30.
