In the academic programs of Nutrition, Biochemistry is one of the early disciplines, despite of that it is essential. This course includes practical classes in order to improve understanding and make more effective the teaching content, because it are based on direct observations which can elucidate the molecular reactions that teaching Biochemistry depends. This paper main to present the experience of an interdisciplinary practical class based in enzymes, which includes notions of the disciplines of Sensory analysis, Statistics, Cell biology and Technology in nutrition. The experience proved to be useful and effective, showing that pedagogy of rediscovery is important in disciplines in which required a high level of abstraction of students, e.g. Biochemistry.
