Learning unit contents

The course of Cooling and drying aims to provide required basis for :
-  the understanding of mechanism involved in dehydration, sorption and coolingn pnenomena in biological material,
- for the control of processes that use these phenomena in order to increase the conservability or to provide new functional properties to these bio-materials
 
 

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

This course aims to introduce student to :
- phenomena involved in dehydration and drying of hygroscopic materials
- mechanisms and components involved in the production and remediation of cooled and dried fluid such as humid and dry air
- mechanism of cooling, sorption and drying of biological materials
It also aims to develop  :
- students' skills inmonitoring of drying, sorptional and cooling processes of biological materials
- analytical skill's of drying, sorptional and cooling technics carried out for biological material preservation and for the development of their transformation.
 

Prerequisite knowledge and skills
