Prerequisite: Food Chemistry (CFS 460/660)
MWF 8:30 to 9:50 am
Food Lipids
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Plants. B.B. Buchanan, W. Gruissem, R.L. Jones. Am Soc Plant Physiol., Rockville, Maryland.

Course Description:
The course covers the plant metabolism of lipids and proteins and progresses through their physical and chemical properties. The course explores the relationship between physical/chemical properties and food/ industrial uses of lipids and proteins. In addition, analytical methods used to assess these components and associated chemical reactions will be presented.

Instructional Objectives:
1. To become familiar with nomenclature, biosynthesis, and metabolism of cereal and food lipids and proteins.
2. To understand chemical, biochemical, and physical properties of cereal and food lipids and proteins.
3. To gain experience in common analytical methods used to assess lipids and proteins.
4. To gain experience in reviewing scientific literature concerning lipids and proteins.

Relationship of course to other courses:
This course builds upon basic food and cereal chemistry knowledge by incorporating advanced topics in organic, inorganic and biochemistry. Knowledge gained through this course will prepare students to understand principles in cereal and food processing (e.g. baking), to predict the functionality of lipids and proteins in food systems, and prepare them for further study and situations in the work environment.

The Honor System: All students taking any course in the College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources are under the Honor System (http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/colag/honor.htm ) . The Honor System is a system that is governed by the students and operates on the premise that most students are honest and work best when their honesty and the honesty of others, is not in question. It functions to prevent cheating as well as penalize those who cheat. It is the responsibility of the student to report any violations of the honor pledge to the instructor, honor commission, or the Dean of the College of Agriculture, Food Systems and Natural Resources.

All work in this course must be completed in a manner consistent with NDSU University Senate Policy, Section 335: Code of Academic Responsibility and Conduct ( http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/policy/335.htm) which states: The academic community is operated on the basis of honesty, integrity, and fair play. Occasionally, this trust is violated when cheating occurs, either inadvertently or deliberately..... Faculty members may fail the student for the particular assignment, test or course involved, or they may recommend that the student drop the course in question or these penalties may be varied with gravity of the offense and the circumstances of the particular case.

Academic Dishonesty/Plagiarism (from Wolf-Hall, 2006): Familiarize yourself with what plagiarism is at http://www.plagiarism.org. Here are some examples of plagiarism as quoted/copied from www.plagiarism.org as viewed on August 20, 2006.

copying word for word from anything and not using quotation marks and citing the source

Changing the words of an original source is not sufficient to prevent plagiarism. If you have retained the essential idea of an original source, and have not cited it, then no matter how drastically you may have altered its context or presentation, you have still plagiarized.

turning in someone else's work as your own

copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit

failing to put a quotation in quotation marks

giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation

changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit

copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not

Special Instructions:
Dr. Manthey
Assignments - Homework will be assigned on the first meeting day of the week (usually Monday). Homework must be turned in by 4:30 pm on the day indicated above. Failure to do so will result in an automatic loss of 5 points/work day. All students are required to take the exams on the same day.

Dr. Khan
Assignment - Students will be required to write a term paper on a topic chosen by the instructor on some aspect(s) of protein chemistry/functionality. Due date will be XXXXXXX. Late submission will be deducted 5 points per day late.

Dr. Hall
Laboratory Projects – Class will be divided into groups. Each group will be assigned a topic and will be required to complete a scientific valid research project using instruments and techniques common to lipid evaluations. The projects will be to evaluate the analytical methods for extraction and quantification of lipid from oilseed. The project must include evaluation of 3 extraction protocols, identification of lipid classes, and fatty acid profiling. A presentation of the project will also be required, thus a due date for completion of the project paper and presentation is May 4, 2006. The paper must follow the format below:

	1. Title and abstract Page - Summation of what was done and the results of the investigation (10 pts)
	2. Literature Review - Summary of previous work as it relates to your project. Note: textbooks prior to 1990 may not be used as a reference. Journal article prior to 1990 are acceptable. Objective (s) and hypotheses should be included in the lit. rev. and address what you plan to answer during the research. (15pts)
	3. Research Methods - Include all materials and methods used in your research, including the statistical design and analysis method. (20 pts)
	4. Results and Discussion. Include figures and tables of data and discussion of the findings. (25 pts)
	5. Conclusion - what is the significance of your research findings. (10 pts)
	6. Appendix - References from literature review. (5 pts)
	7. Presentation - 15 minutes discussion on research project. (15 pts)

****NOTE****

All assignments are to be handed in during class on the due dates. Failure to do so will result in an automatic loss in the points for that assignment or exam. All students are required to take the exams on the same day. Exceptions to this include death in the family, birth of your child, or severe illness.

The take home final must be worked on alone.
