Catalog

This course provides a laboratory experience for enhancing student skills with the chemical and physical changes that occur in food when cooking, handling and processing. Emphasis is placed on practical applications of heat transfer and its effect on color/flavor/texture, emulsification, protein coagulation, leavening agents, viscosity and gel formation. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of these principles as they apply to food preparation in an experimental setting.
