Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The Gastronomy Food Science course is designed to explain the structural changes in food, changes in food and food components. Important food components(water, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins) and enzymes are studied in the course.
Course Content: Learn the structure of food.
Learns why changes occur during the processing of food.
Realizes how food information is used in the field of gastronomy.
Learns the properties of water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins. Learn how they are present in the food and the changes they have made during the cooking process.
Understand the nutritional values, the benefits of the body and the proper storage conditions of foods.
