Course Title:This course introduces trainees to fundermental food processing Techniques
Course Summary:
This course introduces trainees to the principles and methods used in processing food to enhance its quality, safety, and shelf life. It covers various techniques such as preservation, fermentation, drying, packaging, and thermal processing.Traineeswill explore both traditional and modern processing technologies, understand their impact on nutrition and safety, and gain hands-on experience in applying these techniques in real-life food production settings.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, trainees should be able to:
Explain the basic principles and importance of food processing.
Identify different food processing methods and their applications.
Demonstrate proper handling, preservation, and packaging techniques to maintain food quality.
Analyze the effects of processing on nutritional value, texture, and flavor.
Apply safety and hygiene standards during food processing operations.
Sample Interactive Activities:
1) Virtual Lab Simulation: Practice pasteurization or canning using an online simulation tool.
2) Food Preservation Challenge: Students work in small groups to choose a food product and design a preservation method (e.g., drying, freezing, or fermentation).
3) Process Analysis Case Study: Analyze a real-world case of food spoilage and recommend the best processing technique to prevent it.
4)Photo Diary Activity: Document a simple home-based food processing experiment (e.g., drying fruits or fermenting vegetables) and share results on the discussion forum.
5) Interactive Quiz: Short multiple-choice and drag-and-drop questions on processing steps, safety, and equipment use.
