Contents Chemistry of food constituents. Composition of some animal and vegetable foods. Alteration and adulteration phenomena of food matrices.
Reference texts CHIMICA DEGLI ALIMENTI Cappelli e Vannucchi (Zanichelli Editore).

Updated educational material available on the Unistudium platform.

Lecture notes.
Educational objectives The aim of the course is to provide adequate knowledge regarding: chemical structure and properties of food constituents; mechanisms of the main reactions of alteration.
The main acquired knowledge will be: food composition; structure of food constituents; modification of food.
The student will be able to apply the acquired knowledge, with the following competences (ability): assess food quality, based on the data of the composition and on eventual alteration and adulteration.
Prerequisites For an optimal understanding of the contents and to achieve the objectives of the course, the student must have general knowledge on: inorganic chemistry; organic chemistry; biochemistry.
Teaching methods The course is based on lectures face-to-face (20 hours) on all topics of the course.
The lessons take place at Polo Unico Sant'Andrea delle Fratte.
Other information Course attendance is strongly recommended.

Learning verification modality The written test is based on:
- Close questions (item/questions or multiple choice tests), the number and the value of which is directly proportional to CFU of every integrated module and to CFU total number of discipline
- One open question for every discipline module. The open question, according to the didactic method used in the modules, can be replaced by different examination mode: team work, plenary presentation of individual research program, solution to special cases or exercises, project elaboration.
Essential conditions to pass examination and to obtain its certification.
- First condition. Total result (the sum of close and open questions marks) must be at least 18/30.
- Second condition. For every module: A) certain minimal percentage of right answers (on the total number of close questions) must be achieved; B) the evaluation for open question answer or for any other different examination mode must be positive.
In case the student reaches the first condition but do not achieve one (A or B) of the second condition, he can do the oral exam to recover the insufficient part. If the student fails the oral exam, he fails the exam of discipline.

Food packaging
Materiali, tecnologie e qualità degli alimenti

Educational objectives The aim of this course is to provide the basis for knowledge of the transformation / storage processes of food products with particular regard to the vegetable products. Specifically, the student must acquire knowledge on the different transformation processes that concern vegetable products of vegetable ù (from the I to the V range) and of the processed fruits.
At the end of the course and after passing the exam, the student will be specialized in describing, not only traditional production / storage technologies but also the innovative ones; in this way, he will be able to critically manage certain food production lines by applying traditional storage/ transformation systems but also more modern methods (e.g. new mild technologies, innovative packaging), aimed in both cases, at preserving the best sensory, health and legal food qualities.
Prerequisites The student must have sufficient knowledges relative to the food chemistry.
Teaching methods The course is carried out through lectures
Learning verification modality The exam will be performed by oral examinations
Extended program The program is developed in a general part related to the introduction to the food industries. The general part includes the study of the principles of food preservation, and the packaging, with particular attention to the vegetable products.
Furthermore, a part is reserved for the study of preliminary and common technological operations for vegetable origin foods . The special part dedicated to vegetable products of vegetable will be developed in some lessons that describe the flow charts lines of thef I, II, III, IV and V ranges as well as the fruit derived beverages and foods with particular regard to jams, marmelades and fruit juices.
