Learning outcomes: Knowledge: The Student knows the possibilities of exogenous and endogenous enzymes to receive of foods and feeds, traditional and functional - recognize the food without free radicals - estimation of nutraceutics - distinguish triacyloglyceroles and structurised lipides – anticipate possibility modify of proteins and polysaccharides – assess the advisability of enzymatic modification of food ingredients. Skills: The Student can develop the new food product, or modify traditional – Learn how to verify treatment technology, while maintaining the activity of the enzymes or from their (denatured) – is able to develop applications of different biocatalysts – can design biokatalytic to receive: cyclical dextrins, biosurfactants, bioactive compounds for peptide function or hormonal function, therapeutic, antianorectic, nutrients and others.

Competences: The Student demonstrate an understanding of the important function of enzymes in food production. Is aware of the unused opportunities to improve its health amenities. Understands the need for continuous training, in order to meet the requirements of the present times.

Prerequisites: Biochemistry, enzymology, food technology, microbiology

Course content: Biocatalysis in the production processes and the improvement of food ingredients; obtaining of food additives; bioactive and prohealthful properties modified enzymatically of food components; modern directions of application biocatalysis.
