Course content
1. Principle and purpose of food preservation. Products of conservation procedures. 2. Changes taking place in raw materials (food) and factors influencing their sustainability. 3. Division of conservation methods. Mechanical elimination of microorganisms from the environment. 4. Abiosis - Direct inactivation of microbes - Physical methods - Thermal sterilization, sterilization by ionizing radiation, ultrasound, high hydrostatic pressure. Chemical methods (chemosterilization). 5. Anabiosis - indirect inactivation of microorganisms - Physical and physico-chemical treatment of food, preservation at reduced temperature (psychroanabiosis and cryoanabiosis). Chemical treatment of food - (chemoanabiosis). 6. Preservation by biological means of food processing - cenoanabiosis. 7. Food authentication and adulteration in the context of European legislation. 8. Authenticity criteria and methods of forgery. 9. Requirements for analytical methods suitable for confirming the authenticity of food. 10. Validation of analytical methods intended for food authentication. 11. Division and application of methods for determining food composition, determining biochemical processes and DNA. 12. Overview and application of methods for determining the structure of bioactive compounds and the isotopic composition of food components. 13. Use of mathematical-static procedures to process analysis results (statistical tests of significance, pattern recognition methods, analysis of basic components, correlation analysis). 14. Authentication and falsification of products based on fruit and honey, meat and fish products, products based on oils and fats. 15. Authentication and counterfeiting of products based on coffee, tea, cereals, dairy products and milk.
