In this course, we will dive into the fundamentals and advanced properties of sustainable food matrices. We will start right where food scientists come into play along the food value chain: transforming a raw material into a food product. The course will teach you about the various sustainable raw materials, the extraction processes for obtaining ingredients from these raw materials, and the subsequent properties of these ingredients, along with the potential processes as well as products that can be developed using sustainable ingredients. After the completion of the course you?ll be able to design foods with new sustainable ingredients and be able to solve challenges associated with formulating foods with a new type of raw material.
