Mainly for candidates for the Master of Science degree who do not write a thesis. Original research expected. Two bound copies of a written report of the study required by the department.

Description not available at this time

Physical, chemical, and spectroscopic techniques in food analysis: proximate analysis, extraction, densimetry, spectroscopy, rheology, microscopy, refractometry, polarimetry, chromatography, enzymatic and immunological assays, and sensory evaluation methods emphasizing theoretical basis of measurements and laboratory calculations. Prerequisite: Chem 312 or equivalent.

Topics include: unit conversion, mass and energy balance, fluid flow, heat transfer, refrigeration, evaporation, drying.

This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of product development as well as current topics and concerns in the food industry. Student teams will develop a food product from concept to production. This project will incorporate the student?s knowledge in chemistry, engineering, microbiology as well as social sciences. A market analysis will involve investigation of current food movements and health concerns. Students will also learn basic engineering concepts in order to produce their product in a pilot scale-plant. Satisfies the IE requirement
