What will I study?
In this course you will learn about the properties of food in relation to food production, processing and the development of food products. Issues that influence food choices are investigated to allow the consumer to make an informed decision.
You will learn to:
develop and apply knowledge and understanding of the relationship between health, food and nutrition
research a range of issues which affect consumer choice of food
develop knowledge and understanding of the stages involved in developing a food product
develop knowledge and understanding of the functional properties of a range of ingredients in food, and their use in developing food products.
How will I be assessed?
The course assessment has two components totalling 120 marks:
Component 1: question paper – worth 60 marks
Component 2: assignment – worth 60 marks.
For the assignment component, you will have a choice of briefs, from one of which you will develop a single food product, although the product could have more than one component. The chosen brief will have a minimum of three relevant key issues which could impact on the food product developed.
Both the question paper and the assignment are set and externally marked by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA).
The grade awarded is based on the total marks achieved across course assessment.
The course assessment is graded A-D.
