This integration course will address the production processes for important fermented plant and meat foods. The central role of microorganisms and the effects of important process parameters for high product quality and safety will be explained.
Lernziel
To understand the principles for utilization and the important roles of microorganisms in production, quality and safety of important fermented plant foods and meat products, by integrating basic knowledge in food microbiology, microbial physiology, biochemistry, technology and engineering.
Inhalt
This course will present complex production processes for important fermented foods produced from different plant and meat materials. This course will build on knowledge on food cultures and microbial mechanisms presented in the course Fermented Milk Products, which is therefore a prerequisite for attending this course. Emphasis will be placed on complex processing of raw materials into fermented foods (such as sausages, sauerkraut, sourdough, vinegar, soy products), effects of important process parameters for high product quality and safety, biochemical processes, and central role of microorganisms and microbial products in the elaboration, quality and preservation of fermented plant and meat foods. Then short presentations will be made on topics selected by groups of students to illustrate the great diversity of traditional and new applications of microorganisms in fermented milk, plant and meat foods.
Skript
A complete course document and/or copy of the power point slides from lectures will be provided, depending on the topic.
Literatur
A list of references will be given at the beginning of the course for the different topics presented during this course.
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes
A prerequisite is the course "Fermented Milk Products" [752-5002-00] in the first half of the same semester or previous courses supporting equivalent knowledge. This course is taught mainly in English.
