13. Course objectives: The students will develop an understanding of the properties of food constituents, and the

interactions between these constituents. They will develop an understanding of the relationship

between form and functionality of constituents. Students will gain an appreciation of the

relationship between chemical composition and properties of macro constituents (like

carbohydrates, proteins, lipids) and micro constituents (Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, flavor

and anti nutritional chemicals) and their functions in plant and animal based food. On

completing this unit, students will be able to describe the chemical and biochemical properties

of major food constituents.
