IMPFT124K Scientific principles of water in food and drink
Overview
This standard is about the principles of water in food science. It includes understanding the science of water and its application in food and drink. It is about understanding how the chemical and physical properties of water determine its use in food and drink products.
This standard applies to you if you are a manager, technician or consultant who has responsibility for monitoring and controlling any production process where the chemical properties of water support the production of food and drink products.
Knowledge and understanding
You need to know and understand:
1 the importance of water in sustaining life
2 the chemical bonding and structure of a water molecule
3 the physical characteristics of a water molecule
4 the hydrogen bonding of water molecules
5 why hydrogen bonds are constantly being formed and broken
6 the factors affecting hydrogen bonding of water molecules
7 what the characteristics of water are in the gaseous state
8 what the characteristics of water are in the liquid state
9 what the characteristics of water in the crystalline state
10 the factors affecting the boiling point of water
11 how latent heat is involved in the changes of states of matter in relation to water
12 why water has relatively high specified heat and how this impacts on water characteristics
