Présentation
Objectives

The "Food engineering and Products design" specialization aims to train students in the problems of processing agricultural materials, mainly in the Food Industries. The skills acquired must make it possible to design bioproducts in a rational way by taking into account not only the role of the ingredients and their environment but also the impact of the manufacturing process used to produce and preserve the finished food.

The training includes the presentation of the concepts and tools necessary to control the quality (health, organoleptic and nutritional) of food products and processes. The focus is on product characterization and formulation, ways to control the properties of processed products and know consumer preferences, understanding and modeling of processing processes for safe, clean and efficient processes. Rational approaches to data acquisition and management (technical, scientific, economic) are also presented.

Programme

Former aux problématiques de la transformation des matières premières agricoles, relevant des industries alimentaires (ou cosmétique) de la formulation de l'aliment jusqu'à son appréciation par le consommateur.
- Connaître les concepts et les outils nécessaires à la maîtrise de la qualité (sanitaire, organoleptique et nutritionnelle) des produits et des procédés alimentaires:
- caractériser les produits et leur formulation
- maîtriser et maintenir les propriétés des produits transformés
- appréhender l'appréciation des consommateurs
- comprendre et modéliser des processus (biologiques, chimiques et physiques) de transformation pour des procédés efficients, sûrs, propres et sobres.

Le déroulement de l'année est pratiquement identique pour la formation initiale et par apprentissage. La différence se fait sur la mission en entreprise qui commence au semestre 1 pour une durée de quatre semaines et qui se poursuit à partir de février pour une durée totale de six mois.
