Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2016-17

 La asignatura de Química de los Alimentos se enmarca en el primer semestre del 4º curso del Grado en Química. Su carácter es teórico-práctico, quedando dividida en dos módulos. El primer módulo engloba el conocimiento de los alimentos, aportando información sobre su composición, propiedades físico-químicas y técnicas para su análisis. El segundo módulo, proporciona una visión general de los factores que inciden en los parámetros de calidad, tanto organolépticos como nutricionales, de los alimentos. Este segundo módulo se completa con el estudio de los distintos procesos de conservación y almacenaje de los alimentos y de las nuevas tecnologías de envasado que permiten ampliar la vida útil de los productos.
