IMO 105 Material Science
This course explores the relationship between the basic principles of science and the safe manufacturing of food products. Apprentices gain an understanding of food science to learn how it applies to their day-to-day jobs. They explain the foundational principles of food chemistry, food microbiology, and food physics and how they relate to food production. Apprentices also study the role of pH in the manufacture of food. They describe the effects of helpful and harmful microorganisms on the food supply and provide examples of food preservation using heat and cold, dehydration and concentration, and irradiation. Apprentices also demonstrate knowledge of the mixing and separating techniques used in food processing. Apprentices will also gain knowledge of what types of food grade materials are used in food production to maintain good safety and sanitation.
