Learning outcomes of the course unit

After passing this course, the student acguires the overview of food production problems. Modern methods of sample preparation and principles of analytical methods used in food analysis are also part of this overview. Methods are assessed with respect to their use and advantages and disadvantages for particular kinds of important analytes.

Prerequisites

Knowledge in the field of qualitative and quantitative analysis, especially instrumental chemistry and general analytical chemistry, is assumed. Furthermore, the discipline builds primarily on the knowledge gained in biochemistry and microbiology.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course uses teaching methods in form of Lecture - 2 teaching hours per week. The e-learning system (LMS Moodle) is available to teachers and students.
