Summary module description:

Delivered as an intensive campus based workshop of 3 consecutive days of seminars, tutorials and practical sessions delivered by academic members of teaching and research staff from the department of Food & Nutritional Sciences and the wider 澳门六合彩开奖记录 and invited experts in the field from across academia and industry. This module provides a practical approach to understanding the principles and measurement of food texture and rheology.


Aims:

The module aims to focus on the relationship between the mechanical properties of food materials, their structure and the deformation conditions imposed on the food within the mouth, processing conditions in the factory and the perception of texture by the consumer and will provide a practical approach to understanding food texture and rheology from a food engineering perspective.


Assessable learning outcomes:

On completion of the module, learners should be able to: understand the importance of material properties to the texture of food. In particular they should be able to discuss:




  • the methods used to measure mechanical and sensory texture

  • the relationships between structure and texture

  • the relevance of rheological measurements to food processing & texture


Additional outcomes:

The following transferable skills will be developed in this module:





  • Debating skills




Outline content:

The workshop is divided into three days, students will hear from experts in each field in the format of lectures, case studies and demonstrations, each topic being set in the context of applied case studies presented by leading academic and industrial experts in the field Talks are accompanied by debates and interactive activities.


Brief description of teaching and learning methods:

This module will be delivered via a 3-day intensive on campus workshop that will include 28 hours of academic-led seminars and group discussions supported by expert outside speakers.
