Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to teach students the basic concepts of food. In this course, students will witness the journey of basic food components in the body and will become more conscious consumers with the information they gain.
They will have basic knowledge about food hygiene and sustainability of foods, their structure and sensory properties, and food packaging

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. The student gains information about healthy foods.
2. Understands the basic food groups and can compare them with each other.
3. Gains information about food and energy.
4. Evaluates and analyzes food science information innovatively, ethically and critically.
5. Understands the relationship between food and reactions.
6. Can evaluate the health, social and environmental consequences of a sustainable food systee
7. Learns general concepts about food hygiene.
8. Understands the structure of food and learns its effect on the sensory properties of food based on an appropriate set of criteria

Course Content

Within the scope of this course, students will get to know the concept of healthy food. Among the food groups, they will learn about carbohydrates, fat and proteins. They will recognize vitamins and minerals from water and micronutrients. They will have information about the energy content of foods, the concept of quality food and food hygiene. They will be able to think about the sustainability of foods, their structure and sensory properties, and food packaging.
Teaching methods and techniques used in the course are: lecture, individual study, sample review, reading, discussion, observation and use of digital resources.
