This course gives students a practical and theoretical understanding of how analytical and biochemical food tests are performed. Students will learn basic principles of chemistry and apply them to food product development and processing to maintain product safety, quality and efficiency in food processing. Students will apply their understanding of the major chemical constituents in foods to interpret test requirements, including preparation of samples, calibration checks on analytical equipment, and performing routine testing of raw food materials, in-process materials and final products.

Note: Due to the Job-ready Graduates Package new funding clusters and contribution amounts will take effect in the 2021 academic year. Grandfathering arrangements will be in place for students who would see an increase in their contribution amounts. Under these arrangements, students who commenced their course of study before 1 January 2021 facing increased student contribution amounts for a unit, will instead have their student contribution and Australian Government contribution amounts remain as they were under the previous arrangements (with existing rates being indexed by CPI each year). If continuing students are enrolled in units that will see their student contribution amount lowered, their student contributions will be the lowered amount
