Course objectiveTo provide a basic knowledge on high pressure, microwave and infrared treatment, their effects on cereal constituents and utilization of microwave and infrared treatments in cereal processing. Provide information and discuss recent developments on starch modification, gluten-free food and enzyme resistant starch production, extrusion and cereal technology and recent techniques used in quality evaluation of cereal and cereal products. Equip students with the techniques, skills and modern tools necessary for cereal processing. Educate students to identify and solve problems about processing and quality characteristics. Develop awareness on continuous improvement, professional and ethical responsibility. Develop skills in seeking information from various sources and preparing a group project and oral presentation.
