Introduction to biochemistry of growth and metabolism
Regulation of pathways: Course Control, hormonal control,
Glycolytic pathway and its regulation, glycogen breakdown and
synthesis
Citric Acid Cycle and its regulation, secondary pathways
Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation,
Biochemical changes in meat tissue: Chemical composition of muscle,
conversion of muscle into meat tissue, post mortem changes in meat tissue,
meat pigments,
Biochemical changes in fruit & vegetables: Respiration, ethylene
biosynthesis, color changes, texture and flavor formation
Biochemistry of food processing: Non-enzymatic browning reactions (Maillard
reaction, caramelization, ascorbic acid oxidation) and inhibition of browning
reactions
Biochemistry in food spoilage: Enzymatic browning reactions (reaction
mechanism, phenolic compounds) and inhibition mechanisms
Biochemistry of
Cereals : Enzyme activity during germination and storage, starch degradation
during milling cereals
