Special conditionsThis subject is offered via Open Universities Australia. La Trobe University students can undertake this subject as part of a cross institutional enrolment under certain circumstances , and must seek approval from the Bachelor of Food and Nutrition Course Coordinator for eligibility. Due to the nature of the subject content and online delivery, enrolments are generally not permitted past the published OUA enrolment date for the study period. In this subject you will be required to complete cooking and food science practicals/assessment tasks in your own kitchen or one you arrange to access. You will need to purchase ingredients and have access to standard kitchen equipment including a digital thermometer and digital scales. Cooking or handling foods from across all food groups (including red meat, eggs and milk) is part of the required coursework. Sensory analysis requiring the tasting of food, is at your discretion to accommodate special dietary requirements. Students should direct any questions to the Course Coordinators prior to enrolment.

Graduate Capabilities

Intended Learning Outcomes

01. Use several classification systems to describe a food and discuss the value of the classification.
02. Describe the chemistry (including the formation of each component from basic organic compounds and function of the key components of food.
03. Identify the chemistry and function of given bioactive food components and determine key food sources.
04. Describe and apply principles of food chemistry used to maximise the sensory (organoleptic and nutritional properties of food.
05. Determine and discuss the accuracy of a nutritional analysis of a meal or recipe.
06. Describe energy balance in humans. You will be able to: a. calculate approximate energy values of a food from the energy value of its individual energy-yielding nutrients; b. record energy values of foods and their components and compare to food composition database values; c. describe the contribution of food to energy balance in the human body.
