Why attend:
This course covers the basics of food chemistry for the nonchemist and nutritionist. The basic chemistry of each of the major food components is explained, together with its significance in terms of food composition and diet and a brief treatment of analytical methods.

Course content:
Lectures will cover the basic chemistry of each group, its dietary significance and its part in food composition:

  • Fats
  • Carbohydrates – starch and sugars
  • Proteins
  • Fibre
  • Minerals
  • Vitamins
  • Flavours and taints
  • Chemical contaminants
