Objectives of the Course

To give information about food safety and first aid issues to be considered in dairy technology laboratories. To provide experience in the analysis of frequently used milk and products by emphasizing the preparation and use of the tools-equipment and chemicals used. To give information about the evaluation of the test results and the disposal of wastes resulting from use.

Course Content

Learning the tools and equipment used in the food and dairy technology laboratory, the properties of the materials used and the concentration and types for the chemicals to be used in food analysis, solution calculation and preparation techniques, paying attention to general food safety and first aid issues. Analyzing dairy products in terms of physicochemical and microbiology, sample preparation techniques, sampling and working principles and learning in detail the laboratory techniques of milk technology. To learn the subjects of evaluation of analysis results, reporting and data processing, disposal of hazardous wastes and laboratory wastes
