Course Contents
Classification of aromatic substances, their functions and bioactivities; Role of enzymes in the formation of aromas, The formation mechanism of aromatic substances substances (esters, alcohols, terpenes, acids, carbonyl compounds, nitrogen compounds, phenols, norizoprenoidler, lactones, amines, acetals and sulfur compounds) in the fermented products (especially wine, beer and spirits) and the microorganisms play role (yeasts, bacteria and molds). Aroma precursors and flavor enhancing by enzyms in foods; bioengineered (Microbial-De Novo synthesis-and- bioconversion) production of some of the aromatic substances and the relevant industrial applications.
