CONDITIONS FOR COMPLETION OF COURSE
Pregnant students may not attend this course. The credit is granted by the guarantor of the course. A student is allowed to miss three practical lessons, out of these, one practical may be missed without compensation, for another two practicals oral compensations are required in Week 12 (before the credit test). A minimum of 51 % is required to pass the credit test in Moodle, two retakes are granted by the guarantor of the course. Should a student fail to write the credit test on time, without stating a medical or other reason, his/her evaluation is FX.
Learning outcomes
Students become familiar with the technologies used in the industrial processing of poultry, eggs, freshwater and sea water fish, wild and farmed game, as well as honey. This is achieved through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical demonstrations during visits to selected food-processing establisments. As part of the visits, students will also get to know the principles of good manufacturing practice in the food-processing industry. In addition, students gain basic knowledge about chemical composition, nutritional values and quality parameters of poultry meat, eggs, fish, game meat and honey. Therefore, they will be able to evaluate quality of the finished food products according to legal requirements and detect any health risks for the consumer.
