Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
The lecture begins with recent trends of food businesses and food technology on a global scale. Then, we discuss multiple and critical significances of nutrients in views of evolution of life, bioenergy and nerve/brain, so that the audience may get a molecular-level understanding of the significances of foods in terms of life science. The basic understanding of digestion and absorption of nutrients will then be discussed from comprehensive viewpoints of molecular-lever structure-function relationships of enzymatic reactions and membrane transports of nutrients. The last topics are physical and chemical mechanisms acting in taste sensing and food technology.
In addition, food physical chemistry and food engineering are explained. |
