OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	It's aimed to gain knowledge, attitudes, and skills regarding the digestion and absorption of fats, the digestion, structure, metabolism, and requirements of vitamins and minerals, the techniques for food preparation and cooking, and the calculation of energy requirements.
Contents of the Course Unit:	The properties, classification, sources, and requirements of fats, vitamins, and minerals; the digestion and absorption of fats; the absorption of vitamins and minerals; food groups (oily seeds, fruits, and vegetables) and laboratory applications; appropriate preparation, cooking, and storage methods; food preservation techniques; energy metabolism and calculation; and water and electrolyte metabolism.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
Explains the general properties of fats, the digestion and absorption processes, and their importance for body functions.
Explains the general properties, classification, absorption processes, and importance of vitamins and minerals for body functions.
Shows the sources of fats, vitamins, and minerals and computes their requirements.
Follows the preparation and cooking techniques for fats and discovers the resulting chemical changes.
Follows the preparation and cooking techniques for fruits, vegetables, and oily seeds, and explains their chemical reactions.
Applies and follows preparation, cooking, and measurement techniques that prevent the loss of vitamins and minerals.
Follows different food preservation methods and uses appropriate storage strategies in accordance with nutrition principles.
Uses direct/indirect calorie calculation methods and PAL (physical activity level) to measure energy requirements.
Identifies the roles of water and electrolytes in the body and computes their requirements.
