NUTR 120 — : Principles of Food Science with Lab
This course focuses on the application of food science principles with emphasis on chemical, physical, and microbiological properties of foods, ingredient function and interaction, food science techniques, sensory analysis of food products, fresh and processed food technologies, food safety and sanitation, and nutrient and phytochemical composition of food. Students will explore scientific inquiry – from scientific investigation, observation, and hypothesis development to evidence-based reasoning – while applying scientific food principles. Students will practically apply these scientific food principles to laboratory problems in weekly experimental labs. It is the student's responsibility to purchase needed lab supplies. C-ID NUTR-120.
