Teaching Methodologies
The teaching methods are based:
1 In practical classes where the teacher transmits theoretical, practical application of concepts followed by the student?
2. In the analysis and discussion of scientific papers that illustrate postharvest technologies and / or horticultural products rastreabilidadede 3 In the realization and discussion of projects studying the route from field to plate of fruit products, previously chosen by students
Learning Results
1 Identify the general causes of spoilage of fruits and vegetables
2 Recognize the influence of the conditioning parameters of the duration and quality of the storage temperature, relative humidity and air circulation 3 Knowing the conditions necessary for the conservation of several fruits and vegetables
4 Understand the principles of postharvest technology
5 To know the main rules of quality control in the food chain
6 Understand the steps of traceability in the horticultural sector
Program
Biological characteristics of horticultural products suitable to be kept cold (structure, composition and physiological parameters) Physical and biochemical changes during ripening and senescence
Maturation rates
Preharvest factors, harvesting and preparation for market Postharvest physiology of fruit products
Conservation technologies:
a) psychrometric and water loss and temperature
b) composition of the atmosphere (NA, CA, LO, ULO, and MA)
c) minimally processed fruit and vegetable products (Fresh cut or IV Range)
Major physiological accidents and postharvest diseases and methods for their control
Conditions of conservation of vegetables (leaves, bulbs, tubers and stems)
Storage conditions for fruits (pomes, drupes and small fruits)
Traceability of fresh produce Need, quality, features, costs and benefits
Legislation and regulations
Guidelines for the traceability of fresh produce
