Anyone know of good food science short courses?
Content:
Does anyone have any suggestion on food science short courses? When I started in the food industry, I took a week long course at University of Nebraska, Lincoln that covered everything from meat science to dairy. Anyone have any others they can recommend?

Check out Rutgers, University of Minnesota and Purdue. They offer short courses through their Extension Services in the Food Science Departments.

UC Davis has a great agricultural program, so that probably means a good food science program as well. A bonus: it's relatively local.

You might have luck checking out the Research Chef Assoc. They regularly have three day courses on basic or intro od science.

To add to those great suggestions, our company, StratiTek (an independent R&D firm) develops tailored, multi-day courses for companies (hosted at their facility or ours). Topics range from Food Science 101 to more in-depth workshops on lipids, emulsions, processing, and technology -- also, hand's on baking technology and soups/sauces/dressing processing -- just to name a few that we've done in the past.

Don't forget about online distance learning courses! They may not be short (1 week long), but you can take them in your free time!

This course is intended to be an introduction to food chemistry for
those who are working in any aspect of the food industry but have not
had any formal training in food chemistry. We will cover basic food
chemistry principles and other topics such as the functionality of food
ingredients in product development, manufacturing and storage;
functional foods or food ingredients; and the primary reactions in foods
that lead to changes in nutritional and sensory qualities during
processing and storage. Numerous examples will be presented to give the
course a very applied nature.
