GENERAL SCHOOL AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGY AND FOOD TECHNOLOGY AND NUTRITION DEPARTMENT AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY LEVEL OF STUDY Postgraduate COURSE UNIT CODE MF0141 SEMESTER OF STUDY 1st COURSE TITLE FOOD PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY COURSEWORK BREAKDOWN TEACHING ECTS WEEKLY HOURS Credits Lecture 3 h 7.5 COURSE UNIT TYPE Post graduate module eg. basic, scientific area, etc PREREQUISITES : Inorganic chemistry, General physics, Mathematics LANGUAGE OF English INSTRUCTION/EXAMS: COURSE DELIVERED TO yes ERASMUS STUDENTS MODULE WEB PAGE (URL) http://eclass.teiwm.gr/courses/MSFP103/ 2. LEARNING OUTCOMES Learning Outcomes (according to Bologna process) The aim of this module is to provide upgraded knowledge on classical physical chemistry, including advanced course of chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, and many aspects of colloidal chemistry with practical examples. After successful completion of the module the students will be able to understand the basic principles of food processing, to apply main theories on different systems and to have competent point of view on theoretical problems. General Skills Individual and autonomous work Working in a multidisciplinary environment Formation of creative, inductive and independent thinking 3. COURSE CONTENTS Basic chemical thermodynamics. Internal energy, enthalpy. Thermochemistry. Calorie value of foods. Entropy. Thermodynamic potentials. Chemical equilibrium. Phase diagrams. Chemical kinetics. Rate equations. Catalysis. Surfaces.
