This e-conference is organised and supported by the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest (UASVM of Bucharest) and the ISEKI-Food Association in collaboration with the ISEKI Special Interest Group (SIG) “Food Structure and Bionanotechnology” and is focused on topics “From production to consumption” for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system.
This course gives a short description of the available courses
This course is for teachers and students and covers the design of a course and the use of e-tivities (forum, wiki, etc.)

There is need for practitioners in the area of food studies to create a community in the area of teaching and learning of food studies. The Iseki Food Association (IFA) has launched a training qualification to introduce food studies professionals to this area.
The establishment of an award for recognition of staff educational training, linked with the promotion of mobility will enhance the practitioner’s role in the European Education Area.
On completion of this module the learner should be able to demonstrate:
- A general knowledge of the area of teaching and learning applied to food studies
- The ability to reflect on the usefulness and aims of different pedagogic tools applied to food studies.
- The ability to integrate simple teaching and learning tools in their own training activity.
- The awareness of reflective practice of further training in teaching and learning in their own career within a group of peer-practitioners.

The course presents the common food waste sources and respective high added-value components, while it describes the common recovery stages, conventional and emerging technologies applied from the source to the final product. It explores patented methodologies that led to commercial products and ultimately discusses the main problems behind developing a laboratory methodology to a real market product. This course is envisaged to investigate the real full-scale applications and fill the gap between academia and industry within the above topics.
After successful completion of the e-course, the participants have knowledge on the technologies used for the recovery of valuable compounds from food processing waste and their reutilization in food chain. They are able to identify target compounds in different substrates and design a strategy for the separation of target macro- and micro-molecules, the recapture of them in different streams, their formulation in products and their merchandise as food additives. The successful graduates are registered directly in the experts database of the group and assigned with priority to the activities of the open innovation network (www.foodwasterecovery.group).
- Teacher: Ferruh Erdoğdu
After successful completion of this course the participants have knowledge about the processes for residues treatment allowing the possibility of implementation of new technologies in the mitigation of environmental impacts generated by the food industry.
After successful completion of this course the participants have knowledge about the theory of canning technology and are able to highlight the theory of canning technology and to indicate the variations of canning.
