being given to the use of renewable energy policy maker. There has
been historical use of renewable energy, low production with often
intermittent availability, and the inability to capture and store this

CHEM4302 FOOD CHEMISTRY (SPECIALIZATION ELECTIVE)

This course provides comprehensive coverage of the chemistry of some
biologically active molecules and how they combine to form food systems. It
also emphasizes the relationship between the chemical composition and

Description
description of acidic/basic nature of foods is covered. Further, common
natural amino acids and their sequencing in proteins are discussed. Enzymes,
their substrate specificity & mechanisms; vitamins & their role; fats, oils &
lipids as well as food additives are tackled.
