The Institute of Food Science at Cornell University is pleased to offer a Basic Dairy Science and Sanitation Workshop, December 3-5, 2013. This course is the integral/central component of the new Dairy Foods Certificate Program being offered at Cornell University. Individuals may register for the workshop and enroll in the Dairy Foods Certificate Program, or register for the course as a stand-alone program. This workshop is designed to help participants understand the basic principles of dairy science and safety, as well as the needs of their dairy processing establishment with regard to dairy sanitation to help ensure that proper programs are conducted in their establishment.
The course will consist of lecture sessions that will cover basic dairy science, including composition of milk, dairy microbiology, dairy food safety, unit operations -- both raw milk production and receiving, and dairy processing, as well as an overview of dairy regulations. Participants will also learn the basics of cleaning and sanitizing principles, plant equipment and design, general control of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, in depth information on cleaning and sanitizing chemicals, their properties and applications, and a discussion on CIP and COP systems and common errors seen in the industry. There will also be a hands-on session where both CIP and COP principles will be applied. A complete program agenda is provided.
This workshop is tailored to dairy processing personnel and the tuition is $375 for in-state registrants -- $450 for out of state registrants. Enrollment is limited to the first 30 participants, so we urge you to register early.
