Course description

The chemistry of dairy products involves the study of milk composition, including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. It explores processes like pasteurization, fermentation, and emulsification, which affect texture, flavor, and shelf life. Understanding dairy chemistry is essential for quality control, product development, and ensuring nutritional value in dairy-based foods.

What will i learn?

• CO1: Understand the chemical composition and legal standards of milk products. Compositional analysis of milk products: PO1, PO4, PO12
• CO2: Learn about different deterioration processes of fat-rich dairy products, traditional dairy products, fermented, frozen, and dried dairy products, theories and preparation methods: PO2, PO4, PO12
• CO3: Know about the physico-chemical changes during the manufacture and storage of different dairy products and analytical methods: PO3, PO6, PO12
• PO1: Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
• PO2: Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
• PO3: Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
• PO4: Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
• PO6: The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
• PO12: Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
