Technical Course in Food Biotechnology + Specialization in Dietetics and Nutrition (Double degree + 8 ECTS credits)

In today's society there is a growing interest in maintaining a good quality of life, which entails an optimization of health prevention strategies. In spite of this, it is expected that chronic diseases that hit industrialized countries continue to increase their morbidity and mortality rates in the coming years. The Food Biotechnology Technology course + Specialization in Dietary and Nutrition allows students to know the biochemical, physiological, bromatological and anatomical bases necessary to address a safe and effective nutritional intervention. You can also acquire knowledge related to food biotechnology, both at theoretical level and related to the functioning of biotechnology applications regarding food security.

- Raise awareness about the preventive nature that optimal nutrition has on health. - Reasonably know the energy and nutritious needs of the organism. - Study the nutritional aspects, sources and recommended intakes of the different nutrients. - Define nutritional needs in the different stages of life, physiological states and more common diseases on which a nutritional intervention can improve diagnosis. - Present the importance of nutritional education as a generator of healthy food guidelines. - Offer the necessary knowledge to participate in the planning of balanced menus in its energy and nutritional contribution for communities. - Analyze biotechnology from its different fields of application, focusing more on food biotechnology. - Know the different food biotechnology techniques and the main types of food. - Analyze the impact of transgenic foods and functional foods on current food.
