The course will provide basic knowledge of selected food
proteins and their reactions during processing and influence on
structure and functionality. In addition, advanced methods used to
reveal the proteins and chemical/structural changes will be
presented.
Lectures and demonstrations during the on-campus week include the
following topics:
Characteristics of proteins, Common protein reactions in foods,
such as denaturation, oxidation and glycation, and advanced methods
to reveal these, Milk protein structure and functionality, Meat
protein structure and functionality, Enzymatic modification and
Production of bioactive peptides, Identification of peptides by
LC-MS/MS, Meat enzymes, Proteomics used to detect changes in meat,
and Health impacts of food proteins.
The aim of the course is to provide knowledge about how proteins
function in relation to foods. After completion of the course the
students should have obtained thorough knowledge about some of the
important food proteins and their reactions, and be able to predict
their behaviour in simple food systems. Furthermore, the students
should understand the principles of selected methods used to study
proteins and their reactions.
Before the course a short project presentation (5 min) should be
prepared and course literature studied. The 4½ days of intensive
on-campus course consists of lectures, demonstrations and student
discussions and presentations. After the course a short report
should be made which relates one or more subjects of the course to
the PhD project of the student.
