Introduction To Food Science August 11 - 15, 2008 IS YOUR FOOD PRODUCT SAFE, DESIRABLE AND PROFITABLE?
Developing products that are the newest, healthiest, highest quality, best priced and most desirable – the ones that the public wants – is your key to your success. To do this effectively and efficiently, you need to understand the science of food so you and your company can ensure that the products you are developing and promoting are safe and will sell. Through a combination of in-depth classroom lectures and hands-on demonstrations and exercises, you will learn the fundamentals of food science and while being introduced to cutting edge concepts, technologies and practices used in today’s food industries. Whether you are looking to move up in a food-related industry or take the first step toward a new career, our world-class team of instructors will give you the information you need succeed. Just ask any of the more than 1,500 people who have attended in the past — this program will help you to gain the skills necessary to better develop, process, manufacture or promote your food products. To meet your specific needs and goals, this course may be taken as a series of individual one-day sessions or as five-day program. The following pages summarize the topics offered during each class day.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Our course has become the gold standard for food industry professionals. Past participants have included: • • • • • • •

Introduction to Food Scie DAY 1 – Monday, August 11, 2008
Introduction to Chemical Principles and Lipids Explore the structures, properties and functions of food molecules, including polarity, acidity, reactivity (hydrolysis, oxidation, browning) and alkalinity. Learn about the chemical compositions of oils and fats and their roles in food product development and manufacturing. The afternoon discussion is on the refining of fats and oils and the reactions and degradation of lipids. DAY 2 – Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Nutrition Theory, Nutraceuticals and Proteins Explore the principles of human nutrition, including essential macronutrients, vitamins and minerals and learn how nutrition plays an integral role in food science. The morning program will also include information on recent advances in the field of nutraceuticals. The afternoon discussion will cover specific topics including the characteristics that carbohydrates and proteins bring to foods and raw materials needed for flavor reactions and nutrients. DAY 3 – Wednesday, August 13, 2008
Color Theory, Color Applied, and Flavor Learn the scientific basis for the determination of coloration in food; review the different types of natural and artificial food coloring. The afternoon presentation on flavor will include information on important flavor molecules, flavor perception (taste and aroma) and techniques for flavor profiling and description.

cience - Program Agenda DAY 4 – Thursday, August 14, 2008
Carbohydrates and Sensory Evaluation Learn about the theories and applications of carbohydrates in food production. Explore structures, nomenclature, chemical reactions and functions. In the afternoon, examine the physiology of sensory perception, including appearance, aroma, flavor and texture and how these techniques are applied to food industry consumer testing studies. DAY 5 – Friday, August 15, 2008
Food Microbiology Theory and Microbiology Applied Examine the microbes that play critical roles in the food industry, including those involved in fermentation, spoilage and food borne illnesses. Presentations will introduce factors that influence microbial growth, how to implement good manufacturing processes, HACCP and microbial sampling plans. As part of this day’s program, attendees are invited to participate in an optional tour of facilities and labs that make up Rutgers University’s Department of Food Science and the Center for Advanced Food Technology. Here you will see cutting-edge technology and real-world applications of the concepts presented throughout class. Please pre-register on registration form.
