Course Syllabus

Major Subjects

1. Food Science
This is a discipline that studies the physical, chemical and biological properties of food products and the principles and methods of their processing technology. It focuses on the physical, chemical and biological properties and sensory qualities of subtropical agricultural products (aquatic products) and their raw materials in production, processing, storage and circulation, and the laws of their changes. This direction has obvious characteristics and advantages in the biological basis of longan, litchi, olive and other fruits and vegetables preservation, lotus seeds, konjac and other special starch quality science, food colloid structure and functional design, food material science and structure design, etc.
2、Aquatic Products Processing and Storage Engineering
In line with the national marine strategy and the advantages of Fujian Province's marine province and aquatic industry, the focus is on the utilization of subtropical characteristics of marine biological resources, high-value aquatic products processing and comprehensive utilization, aquatic products storage and preservation and logistics, aquatic products refrigeration and low-temperature technology and engineering applications. This direction has characteristics and advantages in the processing of surimi products and seaweeds.
3、Processing and storage engineering of agricultural products
Focusing on the characteristics and industrial advantages of agricultural products in Fujian Province, the research targets agricultural products with subtropical characteristics (fruits and vegetables, tea, edible mushrooms, edible forest resources, bee products, etc.), and focuses on the research of agricultural product preservation and logistics, high-value processing and comprehensive utilization, agricultural product processing engineering and supporting equipment and their industrialization applications.
4. Nutrition and Food Safety
The research will focus on food nutrition, functional composition and its digestion, absorption and metabolism, the relationship between food nutrition, functional composition and health, nutrition and functional composition during food processing and storage and its control technology. The research will focus on the changes in functional ingredients and their control techniques during food processing and storage, the factors affecting food safety and their control techniques, the application of predictive microorganisms in food safety risk assessment, and food safety control management based on the whole industrial chain.
