The Food Technology Laboratory equipments
The Food Analysis Laboratory is a laboratory that performs qualitative and quantitative analyses of the volume, density, hardness, viscosity, water activity, color, and relative humidity of raw and finished products, as well as the content of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber in raw and cooked foods. In this laboratory, students learn all types of analyses while gaining professional practical knowledge. Scientific work is also actively carried out in the laboratory.
Laboratory equipments
The microbiology laboratory is equipped with instruments for analyzing pathogenic and sanitary-indicator microorganisms in food products, as well as for obtaining microorganisms necessary for the production of fermented foods. The microbiology laboratory is included in the program as a mandatory subject starting from the 1st year. Students determine microbiological indicators in raw and finished products, conduct various scientific projects on microbiological research.
