This course will introduce the basic concepts in Food Safety as well as in product quality considering technological processing steps. Selected groups of food serve as examples to discuss the technology applied to converse raw material to final product as well as quality and materials science aspects of these products.

This course provides the theoretical and practical foundation for small angle scattering experiments, which is a powerful and versatile method to study the structure and dynamics of soft materials on the nanometer scale. We will cover basic scattering theory, radiation types, instrumentation, practical experiment planning and execution, as well as tutorials for data analysis and interpretation.
