Modeling in food industry

Modeling is considered as a modern method of studying technological processes and as a form of reflecting reality. Modeling of technological processes in food production comes down to studying flow temperatures, flow rates, changes in volumes, changes in enzyme activity, establishing patterns and finding optimal values ​​for raw material quality indicators and process parameters to obtain the best technological result.

The goal of mastering the discipline

Training students to independently create computer models of technological processes, devices, complexes, lines and food production control systems necessary for their design and improvement.
