The department of “Expertise of consumer goods” was established in September 2015 as a result of the merger of two departments – “Commodity science and expertise of non-food products” and “Commodity science and expertise of food products.” At present, the department is headed by prof. Ali Hasanov.
“Commodity science and expertise of food products”. In 1967 it was separated from the department of “Commodity Studies”. Training of specialists in this field began in the 30s.
