752-2307-00L | Nutritional Aspects of Food Composition and Processing | W+ | 3 KP | 2V | B. E. Baumer, J. M. Sych | |
Kurzbeschreibung | Lecture type course with an interdisciplinary approach for the evaluation of nutritional aspects of changes in food composition due to processing. | |||||
Lernziel | Students should be able to - describe and compare the major concepts /criteria used for the evaluation of the nutritional quality of food - apply these criteria when assessing the effects of selected processing technologies on nutritional quality. - evaluate recent formulation strategies aimed to achieve additional physiological benefits for targeted population groups (i.e. functional foods). | |||||
Inhalt | The course gives inputs on compositional changes in food due to processing (with focus on thermal/chilling, enzymatic, chemical, emerging technologies) or new formulation strategies. Possible evaluation methods for these changes (e.g. nutritional profile) will be addressed. | |||||
Skript | There is no script. Powerpoint presentations and relevant scientific articles will be available on-line for students. A selection of recommended readings will be given at the beginning of the course. | |||||
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The course is open to Master and MAS students in food and science and nutrition or related. Basic knowledge of food chemistry and nutrition is expected, as well as an understanding of food processing. | |||||
752-6101-00L | Dietary Etiologies of Chronic Disease | W+ | 3 KP | 2V | M. B. Zimmermann | |
Kurzbeschreibung | To have the student gain understanding of the links between the diet and the etiology and progression of chronic diseases, including diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and food allergies. | |||||
Lernziel | To examine and understand the protective effect of foods and food ingredients in the maintenance of health and the prevention of chronic disease, as well as the progression of complications of the chronic diseases. | |||||
Inhalt | The course evaluates food and food ingredients in relation to primary and secondary prevention of chronic diseases including diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and food allergies. | |||||
Skript | There is no script. Powerpoint presentations will be made available on-line to students. | |||||
Literatur | To be provided by the individual lecturers, at their discretion. | |||||
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | No compulsory prerequisites, but prior completion of Introduction to Nutritional Science and Advanced Topics in Nutritional Science is strongly advised. | |||||
752-6105-00L | Epidemiology and Prevention Information für UZH Studierende: Die Lerneinheit kann nur an der ETH belegt werden. Die Belegung des Moduls CS16_101 an der UZH ist nicht möglich. Beachten Sie die Einschreibungstermine an der ETH für UZH Studierende: Link | W+ | 3 KP | 2V | M. Puhan, R. Heusser | |
Kurzbeschreibung | The module „Epidemiology and prevention“ describes the process of scientific discovery from the detection of a disease and its causes, to the development and evaluation of preventive and treatment interventions and to improved population health. | |||||
Lernziel | The overall goal of the course is to introduce students to epidemiological thinking and methods, which are criticial pillars for medical and public health research. Students will also become aware on how epidemiological facts are used in prevention, practice and politics. | |||||
Inhalt | The module „Epidemiology and prevention“ follows an overall framework that describes the course of scientific discovery from the detection of a disease to the development of prevention and treatment interventions and their evaluation in clinical trials and real world settings. We will discuss study designs in the context of existing knowledge and the type of evidence needed to advance knowledge. Examples form nutrition, chronic and infectious diseases will be used in order to show the underlying concepts and methods. | |||||
752-6402-00L | Nutrigenomics | W+ | 3 KP | 2V | G. Vergères | |
Kurzbeschreibung | Nutrigenomics - toward personalized nutrition? Breakthroughs in biology recently led nutrition scientists to apply modern tools (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, genetics, epigenetics) to the analysis of the interactions of food with humans. The lecture presents these tools and illustrates their application in selected topics relevant to human nutrition and food sciences. | |||||
Lernziel | - Overall understanding of the transdisciplinary research being conducted under the term nutrigenomics. - Overall understating of the omics technologies used in nutrigenomics and their applications to human nutrition and food science. - Ability to critically evaluate the potential and risks associated with the field of nutrigenomics | |||||
Inhalt | - For the content of the script see section "Skript" below - The lecture is completed by short presentations of the students (in group) of material related to the lecture. Contribution of the students to the presentation is a prerequisite for registration to the exam. | |||||
Skript | The script is composed of circa 400 slides (ca 15 slides/lecture) organized in 9 modules Module A From biochemical nutrition research to nutrigenomics Module B Nutritional genomics Module C Nutrigenetics Module D Nutri-epigenomics Module E Transcriptomics in nutrition research Module F Proteomics in nutrition research Module G Metabolomics in nutrition research Module H Nutritional systems biology Module I Personalized nutrition - opportunities and challenges | |||||
Literatur | No extra reading requested. Most slides in the lecture are referenced with web adresses. | |||||
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Basic training in biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, and human nutrition. Interest in interdisciplinary sciences linking molecular biology to human health. Interest in the application of analytical laboratory methods to the understanding of human biology, in particular nutrition. |
