Quality and functionality of dairy products
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students with the knowledge for the chemical-physical characterization of dairy products. The course has the specific purpose of transferring them to the students to describe the functional properties of micro- and macro-constituents of milk and the technologies for the porduction of milk derivatives.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students will be able to conceive, design and identify the analytical parameters capable of defining the quality of a dairy product in relation to the raw materials used, the processes applied and the desired functional and / or qualitative properties.

Second semester
Classes will be held both in-person and on the Microsoft Teams platform (remotely) on a scheduled (synchronous) basis.
In-person classes will be approximately 50%, also depending on the general health situation.
Students who do not attend the in-person classes will still be able to do the same activity online.
The modalities and criteria to participate in the in-person lectures, which require a reservation with the appropriate app, will be published in time in the online course.

Course syllabus
Chemical indexes for evaluating quality and genuineness of dairy products. Quality parameters as affected by characteristics of raw material, processing conditions. Technological and functional properties of dairy products. Technologies intended for separating single micro- and macrocomponents from both milk and whey including manufacturing of whey protein concentrates and isolates. Applications for whey-derived products. Functional properties of whey-derived products including lactoferrin, lacto peroxidase, CMP etc.).
