Course Content
The lectures during the campus week include the following subjects:
Overview of dairy structures for health and functionality, dairy related nanoparticles, intermolecular interactions, overview of technological functionality of milk components, influence of genetic polymorphism on milk clotting, protein -polysaccharide complexes, overview of biological functionality of milk components, enzymatic digestion of milk proteins, bioactivity of derived peptides, bioactivity of milk fat globule membrane proteins, Proteomics, nutrigenomics and metabolomics in relation to milk components.
Additionally, students will present their own projects and have guided discussions related to course literature. Furthermore, industrial representatives will give talks about industrial applications and innovations related to the subjects of the course.
Before attending the course at campus, students need to read given course literature and prepare a 10 minutes presentation of their own project. As a post-campus assignment students will write a report which reflects the issues of the course on their own work.
 
Teaching and learning Methods
Preparation of presentation and course literature On campus lectures and theoretical exercises/discussions Preparation of report on subject chosen by student
 
Learning Outcome
The course will provide knowledge about functional milk compounds focusing on milk proteins. The technological and biological functionality of these structures will be discussed and advanced analyzing methods will be presented.
After the course students should have obtained a thorough knowledge on functional milk components and their health and technological aspects as well as the possible industrial applications. Furthermore, students should be able to understand the principles of analysis methods used to study these structures and select relevant methods for their own work.
