CHM 130 - Unit Operations & Food Processing
This combined lecture-laboratory course focuses on the chemical principles and practices fundamental to modern distilleries, breweries, and dairy foods processing. The first part deals with the unit operations, chemical transformations such as separation, crystallization, evaporation, filtration, polymerization, isomerization, and other reactions involved in breweries and the production of whisky, gin, and vodka. The second part focuses on the chemistry of dairy processing and food processing in general (pasteurization, sterilization, centrifugal separation, homogenization, membrane separation, concentration, and drying). Laboratories are conducted in the food science pilot plant facility, where students gain hands-on experience in operating distillery and food processing equipment.
