Course Outcomes:
The students will be able to
- Recognize the need for adaptation of scientific storage methodologies for food commodities.
- Distinguish between traditional storage structures and modern storage structures.
- Design and construct modified storage structure based on the requirement on the farm.
- Calculate the amount of CO2 & O2 that can be permissible in systems that require a manipulation of the storage structures in terms of atmospheric conditions.
- Criticize, evaluate and judge the efficiency of commercial storage structures.
- Modify structures and environments to better fit the needs of commodities and consumer alike.
