Introduction to the Program

“Especialízate en el desarrollo de nuevos alimentos e ingredientes con este completísimo Postgraduate diploma que TECHha diseñado para el nutricionista del futuro”

Este Postgraduate diploma en New Food Product Development in R&D&I Projects está especialmente diseñado para que el alumno conozca los conceptos más relevantes y novedosos en cuanto a la creación de alimentos aplicados a nivel nutricional, centrándose en la producción de productos de nueva creación.

El control de calidad de los procesos y productos es indispensable para el aseguramiento de la inocuidad de los alimentos y garantizar las Buenas Prácticas de Elaboración y Manufactura (BPEM) en los procesos realizados en la industria alimentaria. Por esta razón, en esta formación se muestran las herramientas que garantizan la seguridad de los alimentos, de obligado cumplimiento y bajo la responsabilidad de los productores, sea por controles de laboratorios propios de la industria alimentaria o por la externalización del servicio en laboratorios alimentarios y de referencia para el control de las materias primas y de los productos.

En este Postgraduate diploma se presentan los sistemas de I+D+i en el desarrollo de nuevos alimentos e ingredientes en diferentes sectores del campo alimentario que necesitan de nuevas tecnologías, nuevos procesos y sistemas de seguridad alimentaria cada vez más específicos y adaptados a las características de los nuevos alimentos. Además, también se dan a conocer los sistemas de investigación y desarrollo actuales en el diseño y uso de nuevos ingredientes, haciendo especial hincapié en la importancia de preservar la seguridad alimentaria de los mismos y de los alimentos en los que se utilizan. 

Además, un destacado Director Invitado Internacional impartirá unas rigurosas Masterclasses para analizar en las últimas tendencias en el empleo de las técnicas analíticas e instrumentales de control de calidad. En este sentido, el cuadro docente está conformado por expertos en legislación alimentaria y ejecución de proyectos de I+D+i.
