The goal | Тhe main goal of the subject is to learn about fermentation processes that are occurring in the human digestive tract, the health impact of the fermentation and its importance for functional food formulation. | |||
The outcome | Upon the course completion a student will have theoretical knowledge about microbial transformations of undigested food components and influence of microbial metabolites on human health. This will enable ingredients selection for formulation and creation of safe, functional food with defined quality. Finally, student will have the knowledge about procedures that should be followed for a health claim assignment on a functional food product. | |||
