    The goalThe objective of the course is to get the students familiar with the basic processes in food industry, equipment and working principles, exploitation and plant in food industry.
    The outcomeThrough the planned syllabus, calculation examples and project assignment, students gain adequate knowledge about properties of food products, basic and characteristic processes and equipment in food industry. Students will be able to apply this knowledge in engineering practice.
