PRESERVING FRUIT, VEGETABLES AND OTHER FOODS

Preserving Fruit Vegetables and Other Foods Self Paced 20-hour course to help you understand more about preserving food. Foods do not last forever. Microorganisms cause meats, vegetables and fruits to deteriorate in quality, and become contaminated with potentially dangerous microorganisms; rapidly if the foods are not handled properly. Mankind has developed many techniques to preserve food, over thousands of years. This course helps you to understand how food deteriorates and becomes contaminated; and the many ways of slowing that process to extend the useable shelf life of different types of food. Our 20 hour courses are self paced and will help you understand a topic in a short amount of time. You can work through the course when you like- test yourself with mini-tests along the way. There are extra case studies or research you can undertake if you would really like to get into the topic. Once you have completed the lessons and self assessment tasks, there is a final exam undertaken online- you can then download your personalised certificate.
