Advanced Techniques of Microscopy, Microanalysis and Image Analysis Applied to Foods

The course provides the student with theoretical and practical knowledge of advanced techniques of microscopy, microanalysis and image analysis as tools for investigating and understanding both properties and behaviour of food products.

The student will learn how (i) to choose the suitable microscopy techniques for studying food matrices depending on the desired information; (ii) to develop protocols for investigating both quality and technology aspects of food; (iii) to interpret the observed material with the support of microanalysis and image analysis.
