Base Knowledge
It is recommended to have knowledge of the contents of the CU General Food Processing, Microbiology, Food Process Technology I and Food Technology II.
Teaching Methodologies
The unit will be divided into two modules, one in the area of wine production (Module 1) and another in the area of fruit and vegetables processing (Module 2). The classes are eminently practical and will take place in the laboratory and in ESAC’s technological workshops. The practical activities will be preceded by an expository session that will take place in the classroom and which aims to ground the applied technologies.
Learning Results
The curricular unit aims to provide a comprehensive view of the structure of the transformation properties of products of plant origin. Being in the fifth semester, making use of the pilot units of ESAC, it allows the application of theory in practical experiments in the context of work. At the end, the student must have acquired the following skills: 1- Demonstrate knowledge of the issue inherent to the production and processing of foods of plant origin; 2- Demonstrate knowledge of the theoretical foundations of references to the processing of foods of plant origin; 3- Elaborates/builds and analyzes the production diagrams; 4- Applies the principles of food preservation to products of plant origin.
