title: Computer-simulated laboratory experiments in food science. I. The model.
abstract: A computer model and instructional material provide the student with the opportunity to learn basic information and gain expertise in solving problems which occur in foods. The model covers twenty-five simulations over a range of food types, permitting a variety of experiments of differing complexity. The student is assigned a problem or activity which may be partially or completely answered by using one of the simulations. The simulations give answers to a series of treatments and tests, properties, recipes, characteristics, and/or sensory parameters being investigated.
