Adequate knowledge of metabolism and biochemical processes occurring in raw plant and animal food materials, with special focus on those processes causing and affecting food transformations, and influencing the nutritional value.
capability of using the acquired knowledge to evaluate and improve the characteristics of the primary raw food materials from agriculture, animal farming and fisheries and to optimize the quality and safety of the finished food products.
capability of identify and suggest the best practices at the different levels of the production process to improve the quality and efficiency of food and beverage production; capability of clearly and exhaustively communicate notions, ideas and technical solutions to interlocutors of different expertise

Oral discussion on three of the subjects listed in the teaching program.
The student will have to demonstrate sound knowledge on (a) the biochemical components of food, (b) their relationship to nutritional quality and (c) their modification during food processing.
The final mark is attributed in thirtieths.
In order to pass the examination, the student will have to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the subjects, and the capability to use an appropriate technical terminology.
To each question a maximum of 10 points will be assigned.
