Section Description
Food Chemistry: Macronutrients explores the chemistry of water, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids and their important roles in foods. The course focuses on how these components interact and change during processing and storage, and how we can manipulate their properties during food processing and product development to achieve desirable texture, flavor, nutrition, stability, quality, and shelf life. Throughout the course, students will connect fundamental food chemistry concepts with everyday foods and real-world food processing applications.
