Course ID: M02014J2
Credits: 2
Objective: This course is designed for students who are interested in the latest research of biopolymers in applied microbiology and application of natural antibacterial agents.
Course Prerequisites: None
Outline:
This course mainly introduces the pretreatment of marine biopolymers, functional evaluation, antibacterial activity, application of antibacterial activity in food preservation, and discussion of anti-mutagenic activity. Examples are used to assist students in understanding and for students to study related research. To implement student for connection of related subjects.
Teaching Method: The course teach with English. Textbook handout, powerpoint slide made by reference textbooks.
