Course description

This course has the overall aim of providing participants with a detailed knowledge of both theoretical and practical aspects of the molecular, colloidal and functional properties of milk and milk production. In addition, the functionality of food ingredients derived from milk will be covered.

Participants will obtain knowledge on the colloidal interactions governing stabilization and destabilization of milk and dairy products, the major factors influencing milk production and raw milk quality, including milk storage, the factors affecting milk ingredient functionality in food systems as well as the effects of dairy production and processing on milk at a molecular level

The course will enable the participants to:

  • Understand the effects of basic thermal processes on milk components and the effects of the feed
  • Discuss the factors influencing milk ingredient functionality
  • Reflect on the health functionality/​bioactivity of milk constituents

odels at the level of graduate students in insurance math.

Practical information

The course is offered as a single-subject course at the Faculty of Science. Single-subject courses typically run for seven to nine weeks with scheduled activities approx. one day per week.

You will be attending the course together with full-time students from the Faculty of Science, and you must meet various admission requirements. The course ends with an exam.

The number of places is limited, and they are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so do not delay your application!
