But du cours
Project 4 is dedicated to the transformation and process of local raw materials rich in starch and other agro/bio-molecules. Processing technologies such as extraction, separation techniques and drying processes will be focused on. Formulation of intermediate and/or end products will be carried out. This project will be performed in groups of students.
Acquis d'apprentissage visés
- To be able to eco-design a new food product (supply, process, distribution, organization) and / or improve an existing product ;
- To be able to innovate within the framework of specificities of the area ;
- To analyze the process unit steps, propose suitable and sized technologies, plan their automation and maintenance ;
- To know how to define an experimental plan, analyze numerical data from literature or experiments, conduct a statistical analysis.
Prérequis
Knowledge in food process engineering/technologies and unitary operations, notions of experimental planning (experimental design) and statistics, analytical characterization, eco-conception methodologies.
Programme
Over the courses, students will have to :
- Analyze the state of the art ;
- Plan experiments with suitable mathematical tools ;
- Implement and realize experiments and analyze data with the use of fundamental sciences.
- Develop new food products using local starchy resources ;
- Propose ways of increase the added value of raw materials and the use of by-product ;
- Research for appropriated transformation equipment ;
- Assess the feasibility and the suitability of the product or of the global process.
All along the project, students will benefit from tutoring and courses on:
- Intertropical starchy roots
- Agri-food processing with special focus on extraction-separation and drying technologies ;
- Experimental design using mathematical tools ;
- Food formulation and analytical characterization.
Students will benefit from practical work in agro-food technology, culinary and physical-chemistry labs.
