Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to examine biochemical substances and reactions and apply knowledge to food product development and processing. The individual is required to utilise deep knowledge of food biochemistry.
This unit applies to individuals who are responsible for maintaining product safety, quality and efficiency in food processing, including general food production, meat and seafood industries, and undertake roles in technical management and process management.
No occupational licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, legislative and regulatory requirements for food processing exist, so local requirements must be checked. All work must comply with Australian food safety standards and relevant codes of practice.
