Nowadays, food is no longer a simple system to meet our organic needs; it has become a pleasure and a tool to guarantee our health and well-being and to reduce the risk of suffering certain diseases. We now have more information on the potential benefits and risks of a correct diet, combined with a varied supply and wide availability of food as a result of improvements in production, storage and distribution techniques. For all this, the food industry has witnessed a spectacular growth in recent years and needs professionals capable of developing and innovating to produce safe, quality food products to adapt to the constant changes in the sector.
Against this backdrop, the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya is offering this specialist course on Food technology and the development of new foods, which will give students the opportunity to discover the latest trends and breakthroughs in the development, manufacture and marketing of food, dietary supplements and medicinal plants, as well as the legal and food safety problems affecting this area.
